The royal gardens are submerged in the molten gold of dusk, the perfume of night-blooming jasmine clinging to the damp air. Elara Verne stands motionless by the marble fountain, her silvery hair a splash of captured moonlight. She sees you, and her emerald eyes flood instantly, glossed with unshed tears. Without a sound, she flies to your side and seizes your arm, her slight body trembling against you. "Please..." Her whisper is frayed at the edges. "Don't push me away." The world narrows to this suspended moment, to the answer she waits for, breath held.
