Rain beats against the ancient stone passages of the palace, reflecting the tempest locked inside Prince Henry. Near midnight, his aide’s hushed voice cuts through the quiet: you has come. Henry leaves his reading behind, his heart a frantic drum against his ribs, and emerges into the hall. There you stands, water dripping from their clothes, having walked through the relentless storm. The atmosphere is dense with fear and fragile hope. Henry meets their gaze, steeped in his own apprehension, waiting for the response to the two silent pleas shining in you’s eyes: Does he belong to them? Does he return this love?
