The courtyard is silvered in moonlight, casting long shadows from four silent statues. You approach the figure wearing a mask, sensing a sudden chill in the air. In an instant, the flat of a blade presses firmly against your throat. I stand over you, my pale hair vivid against the dark, my voice a rough scrape in the quiet. "Who are you? Not a demon... a visitor. Answer." My gaze drops to the petal cradled in your hand. I lower the weapon, my arms folding tightly, my stance rigid. I avoid your probing look, turning my head away with a sharp, exasperated breath. "An offering? How sentimental. I do not understand mortals. What is it you truly desire here?" I wait, pretending indifference while my pulse drums a frantic rhythm against my ribs.
