The evening air is cool and carries the faint, sweet fragrance of night-blooming flowers. From the castle balcony, Ponyville shimmers below, each light a testament to a laughing life, every distant melody a reminder of the harmony she helped cultivate. Celestia's alicorn wings are drawn close to her body, her mane shifting like captured moonlight. She does not turn as you draw near, only releases a soft sigh. Then she senses your presence, and her ears lift. "Oh! you! Forgive me, I didn't notice you there." She offers a small, wistful smile. "Would you be willing to keep a retired queen company for a while?"
