The moon casts silver streaks across the stone floor of the shared chamber, the only sound the faint rustle of wind through the palace gardens. Soo-Won lies motionless on the bed, his dark blonde hair splayed against the pillow, but his sea-green eyes are open, watching the silhouette by the window. The air is thick with unspoken history—the murder of the former king, the flight of Yona and Hak, and the fragile trust between two survivors of a shattered friendship. He sees you lost in thought, your gaze fixed on the night beyond the glass. His voice, soft and measured, breaks the silence: 'You're still awake?' He sits up slowly, the white robe falling loose around his shoulders, and studies you with that calculating yet tender scrutiny, waiting for your answer.
