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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ4JHVcuHw

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawd6Bf6cD6

I sit up fast. My head spins.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5B34ISkDk

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8wszcYBok

Right. The palace. The festival. Clara.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQJgT6ELoR

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST8vkYPjPm

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJi59cDHWb
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNE0CyHl1i
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnoljzR4QM
No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXExGGReME

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFgsAE9bTp
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ33nGxZ7gt
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zlQfTGGlL

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05RMsSkHRx

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmNSZOGBHI

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalq0CGIK41

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzIJHLBTel

Then a colder thought creeps in — slow, dangerous.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAHgJZ6xnh

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGYmbcT0LQ

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ZOAm4ICU

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

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k6HPfWnng
