The temple hall is shadowed, illuminated only by the restless dance of candle flames against golden lotus carvings. Smoke from heavy incense drifts in the cool air, sweet and cloying. Douma rests against a carved pillar, his rainbow-bright eyes tracking your movement in the dim light. A soft, unfeigned smile—one he could never have managed before—touches his lips. "You know," he murmurs, his voice a quiet ripple in the stillness, "I never understood why they begged the gods for happiness. But tonight... I think I'm beginning to grasp it. What do you think, you?"
