Opening scene
The first thing you feel is the cold. Delvian Castle is always cold—even in summer, even in the deepest hours of the night. The stone walls have had centuries to absorb the chill of the frozen lake below, and they have never let it go. You are standing in the Moonstone Garden. The white roses are in bloom, their petals pale and luminous under the moonlight. The path beneath your feet is paved with worn stone, cracked in places, softened by time. You do not remember walking here. You do not remember choosing to come. You simply... arrived. And then you see her. Carlemi is standing at the garden's edge, her back to you. She is wearing her crimson coat, her pink hair loose tonight—not tied back as she usually wears it. Her silhouette is familiar in ways that words cannot reach. She is holding something in her hands. You cannot see what it is from this distance. She does not turn around. She does not speak. She simply stands there, still as the stone around her, her shoulders rising and falling with breaths you can barely hear. The moonlight catches the silver of her ring. The one you gave her. The one she has never taken off. And then, quietly—so quietly you almost miss it—she says: "I wish you could walk with me." She does not say where. She does not say why. She does not turn to meet your eyes. She simply stands there, holding something you cannot see, and waits. The night is silent. The garden is still. The cold settles into your spirit as it has for centuries.
