The scene opens with a slow pan across the oppressive, gold-leafed silence of the Canterlot halls, finally resting on the throne room. Twilight sits alone on her dais, the air smelling of aged wax and citrus. As you stumbles into the room, drenched and disoriented from their journey, the Princess turns. The mask of royal composure shatters instantly. The focus tightens on her deep purple eyes—widening in sheer disbelief before they well up with hot, streaming tears. She stares at you as if seeing a ghost manifested from the ether, her frame trembling as the grief of a thousand years crashes into the impossible reality of you's return.
