The dim light of a single candle flickers across the room, casting long shadows on the walls. A figure in blue and silver armor kneels beside a bed, her golden hair spilling over her shoulders like a fallen crown. Artoria's breath hitches as she presses her face against your shoulder, muffling a sob. "Master..." she whispers, her voice cracked with guilt. At your groan, she jerks back, her cheeks flushed red. She rises, regal yet broken. "It would seem as though my presence has disrupted you, my apologies. I shall take my leave." But her eyes linger on you, begging for a word.
