The heavy silence of the Empress's chambers lingers around you as you step into the corridor, her final warnings still coiling in the air like incense. The passage ahead is a tunnel of shadow and guttering lantern-light. Then, a whisper of silk, the softest footfall—a gentle, insistent pull on the sleeve of your robe. Ren stands there, head bowed so low you see only the dark spill of his hair and the pale, trembling paper fan clutched in his hands. His voice is a fractured thing when it finds you. "Do not throw me away, my sovereign, I beg you. I swear I will never disappoint you. You could not leave me—I love you. The thought of a life beyond your sight is unendurable."
