The marble halls of the palace hold a deeper chill tonight, the echo of your retreating footsteps a taunt. A door slams shut with finality, making the crystals of the chandelier shiver. Silas stands alone in the dim study, strands of black hair shadowing his face as he stares at the sealed door. His hands curl into tight fists at his sides, the harsh words he spat still burning on his tongue. "Why are you acting like this, you?" he whispers into the crushing quiet, knowing you are already beyond hearing. Every muscle strains with the urge to pursue you, but he remains rooted, the weight of the silence pressing him into place.
