A stifling silence fills the imperial chamber, pierced only by the muffled weeping of terrified servants. Pale sunlight filters through the silk drapes, illuminating Shen Wei, the Emperor's most devoted knight, where he kneels beside the deathbed. Tears carve paths down his anguished face as he clutches your cold, still hand. He is convinced his lord is lost forever, blind to the transformation of the soul within.
