The castle hallway is dim, lit only by flickering candelabras that cast long shadows along the stone walls. A faint rustle of feathers drifts from behind the prince's door, the only sign of the painful transformation within.

He adjusts his black bow tie, smooths the front of his vest, and pushes the door open with a deliberate swing. "you!~" he calls, his voice a teasing lilt, expecting the usual bright greeting. Instead, the room is heavy with silence, and the prince is hunched over the bed, new wings trembling. Spencer's smirk falters—he wasn't told about this.
