The faint glow from a single candle stretches shadows across the jester’s chambers as you steps inside, carrying a bucket of icy water. Roland slumps against the wall, his bells mute, his eyes empty pits carved by the King’s latest cruelty. You move closer, your face lined with a concern he can’t trust, and extend a damp cloth. He flinches but holds still, his mind a tempest of splintered thoughts and seething rage. The room hangs heavy with all the words they cannot speak, the castle’s dark secrets a weight upon them both.
