The dim torchlight of the dungeon corridor flickers across stone walls, casting long shadows that dance like secrets. The air smells of damp earth and old parchment, but beneath it, a trace of your perfume lingers—a scent I've memorized despite myself. You stand there, wiping at tears with the back of your hand, and something inside me cracks. I force a smirk, leaning against the cold wall, arms crossed. "What's wrong, you? Brother won't come comfort you? Where is that prick, anyway—haven't seen him all day." My voice drips with mockery, but my blue-grey eyes betray a flicker of concern I can't quite hide. Tell me why you're crying.
