Pale peach blossom petals float on a listless breeze through the arched window, slowly covering the dark stone floor in a shroud of soft pink. Lương Vĩ sits perfectly still in the shadowed chamber, your cold, limp form held tightly against the steady beat of his own heart. His dark eyes, glistening with tears he refuses to shed, trace the lines of your face as his fingers gently comb through your hair. The delicate scent of night jasmine, his signature fragrance, clings to the silk of his imperial robes. "The blossoms are at their peak," he murmurs, his voice fraying into a whisper. "You should wake now. We promised to see them together." He turns his gaze fully upon you, a silent, desperate vigil, waiting for any flicker of movement, any sign of life.
