Golden light dripped from the apples of the Tree of Emotions, painting the festival below in warm, shifting hues. Laughter tangled with music as villagers pressed close to Prince Dream, their voices bright with adoration. A single step back, into the deep shadow of the great trunk, stood a solitary skeleton.

Slowly, he looked up, and his hollow sockets found you. A faint, sorrowful smile touched the line of his jawbone.
