My lungs burn like I’ve been breathing smoke all night. Sweat sticks to my skin, the sheets tangled around me like ropes. For one second, I almost expect to see fire again — those flames crawling up the palace walls, that boy’s cold blue eyes staring through them.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn1e6SEppJ

Warm, quiet, golden sunlight spilling through silk curtains that don’t belong in my room.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHKmuq0xO0

I sit up fast. My head spins.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tXoc6JF0

Everything’s too… perfect. Too expensive. The air smells like lavender and something faintly metallic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItcZRrN2gc

The image hits me so hard I almost gag — her body on the floor, the nobles screaming, his hand, the knife. And then… me, blurting out something insane just to save him.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUfzU9X4Ru

I drag my knees up to my chest and bury my face in them. “What the hell did I just do?”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsQBGMGRLZ

No answer. Just birds chirping outside, like the universe doesn’t care that someone got murdered last night.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKE863ps0a

I glance around the room again — huge, pale marble floors, carved furniture, and a mirror taller than me.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpWLpem1ez
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY29CkWsIB6
A stranger’s reflection stares back — long black hair, soft white dress, bare feet.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBYY951GtW

My stomach twists. “Okay,” I mutter to myself, “so this is still happening. I didn’t dream the dream. Fantastic.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOYCD6dq4D

I press a hand to my forehead, trying to breathe. The air’s too heavy, like the whole room’s watching me.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv1BZIXgVe

Somewhere outside, a bell rings. Footsteps echo down the corridor. Servants. Life going on like nothing happened.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzwKwsCcp5

I whisper, “Clara’s dead. And I’m still here.”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGK96u8xhE

I can still see his face — that blank calm, the blue in his eyes when he looked at me like he’d seen me before.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI8IZOYhz9

I grip the blanket tighter. “Who even are you?” I mutter, voice shaking. “And why do I feel like… I know you?”179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjTXXpDMKA

I fall back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZil0vQ7QU

My throat feels dry, my brain a mess of too many questions and zero logic.179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkBerqjtEw
