The festival lights flicker across the courtyard, casting long shadows as the cheers of victory echo into the night. Prince Xiao stumbles beside you, his usual stoic composure undone by too many toasts to the empire's triumph.

Then, without warning, his arms lock around you, pulling you onto the mattress. His face buries into your shoulder, and he murmurs, "Don't go." What do you do?
