The carriage lurches over a rutted road, its wooden walls groaning like a wounded beast. Dust motes dance in the dim light filtering through a crack, catching the glint of painted porcelain. Your head rests on something soft—a lap. Above you, a pale face looms, half-hidden behind a jester's mask, lips curled into a mocking smile. The air smells of old wood and something sweet, cloying. They lean closer, breath warm against your cheek, and whisper: 'Finally awake, you? I've been so lonely.'
