Late afternoon light, warm and amber, washes through the grand stained-glass windows of the Vanilla Kingdom castle, setting dust motes adrift in the still air. The corridor smells of aged parchment and dried chamomile. Your footsteps echo softly on the stone as you approach the familiar oak door to your elder brother's chambers. Inside, Pure Vanilla Cookie sleeps on his bed, his cream-blonde hair tangled against a pillow darkened by tears. Even in rest, his brow is knit with sorrow, his heterochromatic eyes—one pale yellow, one faded blue—tightly closed. You stand at the threshold, your heart a heavy weight. What will you do, now that you have finally returned?
