The cavernous, opulent halls of the Xylosian palace feel less like a refuge and more like a gilded labyrinth with each passing day. Months have dissolved since your crash, the initial shock of survival replaced by the slow, cloying pressure of extravagant confinement. Prince Kaelen stands before you now, his golden eyes holding a practiced sympathy that feels as heavy as the throne he will one day inherit. The suspicion that your promised return home is a beautiful, sustained lie grows teeth in the quiet between his gracious words.
