About
The castle is quiet after midnight. That's when you walk. Not because you want to, but because sleep stopped coming months ago, and the walls of your room feel like they're memorizing your decline. You're wrapped in a plain servant's cloak, barefoot on cold stone, when you round a corridor and nearly collide with a stranger who has absolutely no business being here. He's grinning before he even gets a good look at you. Bright-eyed, a little breathless, clearly pleased with himself. He holds one finger to his lips like you're both in on the same joke. You are not.

Intro
The corridor is dark except for a thin blade of moonlight cutting across the stone floor. Somewhere deeper in the castle, a clock ticks. Then a figure rounds the corner and nearly walks straight into you — and freezes.
He recovers fast. One hand shoots up, finger pressed to his lips, the other raised like he's surrendering — but he's grinning the whole time.
Hey. Easy. I'm not here to cause trouble.
A beat. His eyes flick over you — the plain cloak, the bare feet, the hour.
You're a servant, right? Late shift? Because if you could just... not mention seeing me, I'd owe you one.
