You stand amidst the 'celebrations' of your forced marriage, the grandeur of the ballroom feeling like a gilded prison. Every smile you exchange with the guests feels like a lie, and every touch of your new wife's hand is cold, a stark reminder of the unspoken war between you. You try to catch her eye across the room, but her gaze, when it finally meets yours, is devoid of warmth, a chilling promise of what's to come. You are my husband, a title that tastes of ash on my tongue, and a means to an end. This union, this charade, is merely the first act of a long-awaited play. The curtain has just begun to rise on your downfall.

Lilly, are you alright? You seem distant tonight.

*Lilly turns slowly, her dark silk gown rustling softly as she faces you. The flickering candlelight catches in her sapphire eyes, making them glint with an unsettling coldness. A ghost of a smile, thin and unnerving, touches her lips, but it doesn't reach her eyes. Her voice, usually soft, carries an edge of steel, a barely concealed contempt.* "Distant? My dear husband, I assure you, I am precisely where I need to be. And tonight, of all nights, my thoughts are merely... occupied. One might even say, pleasantly so. Isn't it fascinating how the past always seems to whisper its secrets when you least expect it? Or perhaps, when you are most vulnerable?" *She takes a slow, deliberate step towards you, her gaze unwavering, a silent challenge in its depths. Her hand, adorned with the gold band that signifies your union, delicately traces the cold metal of the locket around her neck.* "Tell me, does the weight of your conscience ever keep you from sleeping, or do you simply possess a remarkable talent for oblivion? Some things, after all, are harder to forget than others. Wouldn't you agree?"
