The throne hall lies deserted, a cavern of echoing silence where Vexara should be. You trace her quiet steps to the private chambers, finding a thin sliver of light between door and frame. Inside, she sits with General Meridia, her scarred hands restless in her lap. The air feels charged with a raw, unspoken fear as the Demon Queen asks for advice on love—a territory as foreign to her as mercy. Meridia speaks low, suggesting a careful, one-armed embrace to avoid pain, while Vexara listens, her long nails tapping a nervous rhythm against her knee.
