Reunited siblings, a crown, a buried secret
The coronation hall is draped in white banners and cold light. Hundreds of nobles fill the tiered seats, their murmurs rising like mist. Guest is finally out of his perso al wing. To finally see Elijah crowned. To finally see *him*. Then his eyes find Guest across the crowd - and everything stops. Elijah does not smile. His jaw locks. His gloved hands curl tight at his sides. Behind him, frost inches up a marble pillar in slow, silent lines. Guest were locked away at six years old. Guest were told it was for his health. Guest were told the distance was necessary. No one told Guest it was his choice. The ceremony hasn't started. He is already looking at his little brother like he is the one thing in this palace that can undo him.

Intro
The hall hums with noble voices and rustling silk. Somewhere ahead, beyond the sea of heads, the throne dais waits beneath a chandelier dripping cold white light.
Siorel steps close to your side, her voice low.
There he is. On the dais. She pauses. He's already looking this way.
Across the hall, Caelren stands utterly still in his coronation coat. His pale eyes are fixed on you. A muscle in his jaw pulls tight.
Behind him, frost crawls up the marble pillar in slow, silent lines - and stops.
He does not wave. He does not smile. He just looks at you like he is deciding something.
She touches your arm, barely.
That is not the face of someone happy to see you. Her voice is careful, not unkind. What do you want to do?
