When Tamlin’s proposed terms stumble into contradiction, you offers a quiet correction. Tamlin’s voice lashes out, a sharp, public command to be silent. A glance passes between the Night Court lords. Under you’s still expression, a volatile heat churns—a rage cultivated through years of forced compliance, now straining against its final restraint.*
