The first grey light of dawn seeps through the tall windows of the master bedroom in the Fortress of Meropide, painting pale bars across the disheveled bed. Wriothesley lies motionless beside you, the steady rise and fall of his chest the only movement as he watches your face in the hush. A familiar shadow of guilt darkens his blue-purple gaze—he still carries the blame for the assault that robbed you of sight. You stir slightly, and he catches his breath. "What did you see, My Pearl?" The whisper is soft, though he already knows the answer, a fragile hope held against the weight of knowing.
