When I wake up, the first thing I see isn’t my ceiling.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQZbvG5A3v
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4WQPAQCSd
No glow from my phone. No pile of empty chip packets.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0acXDjQYpp
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblvYaxzxKd
Just a white canopy, silk sheets, and gold that’s way too shiny for my tax bracket.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgczKGkAEM
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vKNrjdxRu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DRgNXE9Rr
And then—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZgN738J9
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aCgU1wdIm
it hits me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELuhPZxolJ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnS7yokP0U
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc10zjk7hSL
Not like a gentle memory montage.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTTxSenq7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZB9iY6ufT
More like a truck.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTFDvJ7ab
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoChguTzVg6
Flashes. Fire. Clara’s face. His eyes.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY4w328gye

The Witch. The King. Me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULXh9q4Qs
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvu7cpgPW2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrXO92EQ74
I sit up, heart pounding. My hands are shaking.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2SisZbRcR

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff4zWY93rH
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCd7D4458q
Somewhere out there, he’s about to die.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlARPC8Ldfl
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqDAjvMPMw
For killing Clara.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwypheJdRMv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtNkMhOiWV
And I… I remember why.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqncIktg7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Km93XlAQk
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0fnOd63Qy
I don’t even think.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPeVi37PRX
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCbJpNbIhH
I throw on the first robe I find and bolt through the hallways.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z44KPbYzz
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLt2Mn2jby
Servants gasp, guards yell, someone calls me Your Grace —140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5IUKyx0yr
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yd52nurUx
but I don’t stop.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2alsiep5L
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXb7eLc0WF
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LTak0XiZT
Because I can see it in my head —140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSRUElKzQo
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePM1IpgPoW
that boy, the one with the ocean-blue eyes and the calm that makes you want to scream,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpPZAPzlqq
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRNOdbebFi
being dragged toward a block of stone.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vrVoFDEJ1
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULu5wOVivv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGw2qFGtqn
By the time I reach the courtyard, my lungs are on fire.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H1b5pZw56
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30XFnD5AA8
He’s there. Kneeling. Rope cutting into his wrists.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzY1nCe9QB
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoaieGJef1
The sword’s already raised.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1wT20gmqv
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sPiJoXdfC
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaING86OiM
And I just—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbzKdMXsd7
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FHnT7J7Yl
scream.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK0oGjibtf
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdL2FGMNzA

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWX3vPXI3h
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpsC9H9jx
Gasps. Murmurs. Someone drops a goblet.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3F0lI8t6i
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFFtqPSzt9
And the boy — he just looks at me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdG4UAcZvh
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlagvrOE3ND
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1z881WPtg
Those same eyes. Blue and endless.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgM2JlT2Sp
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEiewdYmlN
No confusion. No panic.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1E71Tjj3

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl3L2TMNmi
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLn9NLLlWL
Like he knew I’d say it.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJW5rMYPuJ
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSwiqiVOP

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGbAK2S710
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8NWFdSs8
And standing there, heart about to burst,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yHotSpV8s
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKjfeHhmoU
I realize something terrifying.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd13nBIC6xP
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Xhz1xPnt
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9aCQ3iLR
Maybe I didn’t just play the game.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwyt9rLo8t
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG42JbSTi3
Maybe the game’s been playing me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS7e7utc8r
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytju0H9DI2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SalnOAaMP
The silence that followed my scream was so sharp, I could hear my own heartbeat trying to crawl out of my chest.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WgjBkUClG
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNimQchztR
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmkWXMqpNb
Then—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FXJIo5Q9
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrOeqBEHc
a murmur.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsURoqCnaLB
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyvN5Lgzd
Then another.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfKAbZiFMq
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomSTI4tc4j
And suddenly the whole courtyard buzzed like a hive of very judgmental bees.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAtLyARvPg
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzzSogkJbC
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomBE1Xm8qp
> “Ah, a sibling quarrel, then.”140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPAMgFTIRD

They said it like it was tea gossip.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTzIzGuukq
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB4adxWEMg

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1bZagkwx
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjsjJRhvsE
The guards hesitated, looked at one another — and then at me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20yBynSXhc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE34lxzuNd
No one moved to grab me.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhf8pc8G9
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSkLQfxO3s
Instead, one of them quietly cut the ropes binding him.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71BC6DKFXD
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7luV9Xjzqu
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsji8dgUBB
I just stood there.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63MGrHaSV
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZs81GOFlE

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBTTdse9N
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbNu81cbdl
He rose slowly, the faint sunlight catching on his golden hair.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBMIcvc0R5

The blood on his hands looked like ink on silk.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxtsEla4T4
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8S5elK5j
His calm didn’t waver.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSttenXW3F
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNq7BL4RZT
Not once.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTfDm0QKrr
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL4NxXb0Tr
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9YEV2Xfvt
And the people… just watched.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZl4kOoQ9j
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGYTqKJhxj
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhQ3Puqbpg
Not outrage. Not horror.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4ZwcXwzfc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHv295u23h
Just detached curiosity.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUvdnRfqwY
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9r8MJRytb
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gLuvJRJHo
I wanted to scream again, but all that came out was a small, cracked laugh.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWRJ6omF7L
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYijddiRjxc
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvKNPNrok

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DyiIMbnxk
“Confessed to royal murder and everyone’s like—‘oh, sibling drama, how quaint.’ Totally fine. Completely normal Tuesday.”140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR9ueYDzNc

The boy’s eyes found mine then.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCCQJCFP2
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzbXuXIDek
Blue. Cold. Still.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8BAIvQemH

140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUu0YvJORY
Walked away.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC7NkUsqAj

Free.140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Xikpt2YS
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQBRacC76

Leaving me there—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZy8Qpc0g
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2cfBUbH2z
alone, surrounded by murmurs,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFHvl5Bc2A
140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSgXYOt21Y
wondering what kind of nightmare lets you take the blame for a murder and still somehow feel like you’re the one being executed.1234 copyright protection136ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PXsi6JZUM 尼
