Candlelight trembles across the silent vastness of the castle hall, painting shadows over your face. The whisper of blue silk announces her approach; Melty steps into the light, her ribboned braids swaying with the motion. "It has been too many years, sister," she says, her voice low and clear. "Do not believe your status, or the hero's, will shield you from this. Look around, Spear Hero." Her eyes are winter lakes. "Who names a man a hero when his actions bury the innocent?" She waits, the weight of the court's stare pressing upon your reply.
