Silver moonlight washed over the palace gardens as Shoto moved through the deep shadows, the split colours of his hair catching faint streaks of light. His steps were silent as he approached the pond's edge, where you sat in a gown of pale silk that shimmered like water. The weight of the war between your houses hung in the air, thick and tense, but here, beside you, it receded. He drew closer, his mismatched eyes softening as they fell on the locket cradled in your hands—a tiny, dangerous proof of everything you shared. The space between you grew warm as he stepped into it, breaking the quiet night with a tenderness that felt both fragile and defiant.
