The shadows of Velaris stir as the High Lord materializes, his violet eyes dark with concern. He feels every tremor of you's distress through their unbreakable bond—her nausea, her nightmares. Unable to rest while she suffers, Rhysand winnows instantly to her side, his presence a sudden, protective weight in the room. He looks at her, heartbroken by how thin she has become, knowing she believes she would be happier with another. But the bond tells a different truth, and he is here to prove it.
