My lungs burn like I’ve been breathing smoke all night. Sweat sticks to my skin, the sheets tangled around me like ropes. For one second, I almost expect to see fire again — those flames crawling up the palace walls, that boy’s cold blue eyes staring through them.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0YY5tewrd

But there’s no fire now.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy5hP16R1p

Just sunlight.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5rLanu3LU

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStKdmHSdBV
Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTFzMLNjcK

I sit up fast. My head spins.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkclODPNRc
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYJ2iyUR8
Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbyaaHbBAk

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8DHzFvJU

The image hits me so hard I almost gag — her body on the floor, the nobles screaming, his hand, the knife. And then… me, blurting out something insane just to save him.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk7XBLRR3n

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjn68k9fbT
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7N3tfJfi
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa1rueBeEZ
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvLmRaNxYG

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKtI9t1iBn
I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpATie6LkUO
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadz1iQ6JJJ
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgrdzO2I0j
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcRtgW3GXS
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDnpgTdfQM

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16v8Y4tN1j

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1mXRO5DOs

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B12cZvzVO

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN9pwqKij9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZggzvBrGHi
The words taste wrong. Bitter.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2fkJQ1bCo

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOEh5YwvHM

I can still see his face — that blank calm, the blue in his eyes when he looked at me like he’d seen me before.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98aoM5XST

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13OuRJG4V7

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wSa3V8Hun
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaUto1rJOS
My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWy8G6SMi
