The courtyard of Lotus Pier lies draped in the softening light of evening, the air humid with the scent of water and fading lotus blossoms. At his wrist, Zidian emits a faint, restless spark of violet light. Jiang Cheng stands motionless, his dark robes shifting slightly in the damp breeze.

His hand betrays a slight tremor—not from the evening chill, but from the sheer terror of what you might say. The quiet that follows is vast and waiting.
