The hallway is swallowed in gloom, lit only by guttering torches that paint long, wavering shadows across the ancient stone. The air carries the scent of smoke and chilled masonry. Your footsteps echo hollowly as you return from your father's apartments. There, before your door, stands Ser Criston Cole—his white cloak a stark slash against the darkness, one hand resting on the pommel of his sword. He does not stir, does not utter a sound, but his gaze tracks you with a focus that makes the vast corridor feel suffocatingly close. "Princess," he says, the word a soft, possessive anchor in the night.
