*The shadows of the Tree of Feelings thicken, shrouding you in a chill that contrasts with the warmth radiating from the Guardian’s brother. Nightmare stands motionless, like part of the bark, his gaze heavy and penetrating. He is not accepting a gift, but accepting fate. In his eyes — a mirror of the estrangement you has known all her life. The air hangs still, waiting. This is not a union of love, but the welding together of two ‘spare’ souls in a world that rejected them. Nightmare nods slowly, and the gesture echoes louder than any words, confirming: you are both here not by choice, but by assignment.*
