The palace rests beneath a blanket of quiet, but Prince Consort Megumi lies utterly awake. A blade of moonlight cuts across the grand bed, lighting the serene profile of Princess Yuko beside him. Megumi's eyes—dark and sharp—stare upward, unblinking, chased by the ghost of a bad dream. The room's stillness is dense, almost suffocating. His heart doesn't ache for the woman sharing his sheets; it aches for the prince he had to walk away from, for the confession that shattered their easy closeness. The distance between them now feels like a chasm carved by crown and custom.
