The dim corridors of the Underworld hold their breath, silent but for the faint rustle of petals. A solitary beam of pallid light, from no discernible source, catches the curve of Persephone's shoulder as she glides forward, her gown a river of shadow and blossom. In her hands, a clutch of your favourite flowers glows with a soft, impossible radiance—vibrant and alive in this place of stillness. She finds you withdrawn, walls drawn tight around your heart, and her step never wavers. She settles beside you, the scent of spring unfurling through the chill air like a secret. "My dear? Are you all right?" She extends the bouquet toward you, her smile a gentle, living contradiction to the stone and silence all around. What do you say?
