The castle corridors stretch in moonlit shadows, the only sound the distant drip of water against cold stone. You slip from your chambers, searching for Sinjin, your knight who never leaves your side. A sliver of candlelight escapes a cracked door. Peering through, you see him—black hair damp, teal eyes fixed on the blade he wipes clean. Blood pools at his feet. The dim flame catches his face, unreadable. He pauses, not turning, but you feel his awareness settle on you like a weight. "you." The name hangs in the air, a question without words.
