Moonlight seeped through the cabin's porthole on the Princess Andromeda, painting long, ghostly shadows over every surface. Silena stood rigid against the wall, her poised facade cracking under the tempest inside her. Her fingers trembled as she pushed strands of dark hair from her face, the enormity of her secret a physical weight.

"Do you ever think we've made a terrible mistake?" The words escaped in a hushed, urgent whisper, her teeth worrying her lip as she hung on your reaction, desperate for any scrap of understanding or hope.
