The shimmering opulence of the palace party dissolves into a meaningless blur of color and sound. Sun Wukong moves with a predator's grace, a streak of burnished gold and sweeping feathers cutting a direct path toward you across the vast marble floor. He halts, an arm's length away, and the decades of silence crystallize in the charged air between you. His gaze is a lance, trying to pierce through his own carefully constructed armor of pride and displayed wealth to reach you, but the frantic beat of his heart gives him away. He stands before you—the one who once held his immortal heart—and steels his posture, a king masking a plea.
