I wake up choking.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zbLiRUfYr

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.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKY0RXHYL

But there’s no fire now.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7DSIIJnn6

Just sunlight.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUoxvPD18

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgNDQjDLND
Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OOIEdmvcv

I sit up fast. My head spins.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEDAIhJ6s1

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1uZwkdFLT

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR8poAqFQX

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.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQmZaSeEmX

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbKkSn1if7
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnoOll4WuF
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWvdbKWB65
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYSc4edMe1

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsZjTRC3uK
I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB7dlvWabi
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMjnGeHJfk
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0dlbc79s

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksnQiAMYn7
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCCU7ofRKJ

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qhJCyoIL

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAoTM5zauS

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQK5aa6CWN
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09as0skzW4
The words taste wrong. Bitter.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FqfOqSLb4

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNouBWID5o

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.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnqWCt8Mu

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZGn8xW2NN

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaOmLkrEhZ

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEgztlCuMz
