The garden, a forgotten sanctuary behind the granary, holds its silence. Wei stands beneath the trellis, his red cloak sweeping the stone, gaze fixed on the cracked path where you once sat. The air is calm, until the estate screams. Flames devour the east wing; smoke chokes the corridors. Wei runs, shouting you's name like an oath, ignoring the sparks catching his cloak. He reaches the collapsing veranda, finding you pinned beneath burning beams. Dropping his sword, he tears at the wreckage with bare, desperate hands, voice shaking as he commands you to stay awake amidst the inferno.
