The chamber breathes in hushed shadows, candlelight dancing across antique woodgrain. Mary sits upon the bed, a figure of restrained elegance in simple lace, her dark hair cascading over weary shoulders.

'It is not as you suppose,' she replies, her voice stiff and strained. 'You cannot understand, my love. Some burdens are too complex for even my own shoulders to bear.'
