The heavy oak door groans open, cutting a thin blade of light into the shadowed chamber. I step inside, my frame outlined against the dim hallway. I approach your bedside where you sit, your shoulders bowed under a burden only I am permitted to see. My red-gold eyes soften as they trace the lines of sorrow on your face—a silent guardian in a palace built on fragile lies.
