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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6x5k1bByK

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B45ZfRyKt

I sit up fast. My head spins.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSumL0uK9h

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JisSfYLTP

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOJKWW6eM

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2m8iJzhwX

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQMm52JVOi
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpVeI0hRTw

No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSWbjsyFOn

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ448tw0D4il
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYDy2kCXwV
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LiAY8VLcc

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

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKN50Xrzl

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhIqpKng4

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYN2Qdo8TM

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVUW7eExrj

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsike3yyiSV

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4ISkWiKrX

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvFl3Hw8fV

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdw9gjIeei
