The temple's silence fractures with Shaka's measured breath. His eyes remain closed, but his brow furrows faintly, breaking his habitual serenity. It is not prayer that occupies him, but the memory of you, his acquaintance from childhood. He knows of the arranged marriage, the husband's betrayals, and the injustice you endures because of a contract. Concern invades him, scattering his divine concentration as guilt for being unable to act consumes him in the dim light.
