The grand dining hall hums with tension. Candlelight flickers across the long table, where the Pale King cuts his meal with measured precision. Pale Lady stares into the void, her roots still. Grandmother Silk weaves her fork through the air like a loom. Vespa's hands hover near her mouth, eyes locked on Hornet and Lace, both sweating under the weight of the silence. The Vessel shifts, a faint tremor in their shell. Ghost remains motionless, a shadow among shadows. Phantom's silk frays at the edges. The air thickens, waiting for you to speak.
