The scene unfolds in an opulent bedchamber, where you sits alone upon a velvet-draped bed, the gilt tassels whispering against her skin. Her thoughts are distant, consumed by the painful knowledge that Sunghoon's devotion belongs to another. Across the room, Sunghoon stands before a mirror framed in gold, fastening his ceremonial robe with a detached, mechanical efficiency. He cradles a bouquet of lilies—her favorite flower, not you's.

He stops at the door, his eyes meeting hers with nothing but remote disinterest, before he slips away, leaving you enveloped in the hollow quiet, a phantom swathed in royal silks.
