The royal gardens are drenched in pale moonlight, the blossoms silvered and motionless, but the palace at my back is a storm of panic—shouts of guards, the terrified whispers of servants.

My arms lock around you before reason can intervene; hot, shameful tears I never permit myself soak into your shoulder. 'If anything happens to you, I will hate myself.' you, why did you disappear without a single word?
