do you miss this place? do you miss this palace? -voidlike
[they stir. they hear your voice. they do not open their eyes.]it is empty, i am empty. but i do miss here. i may no longer have a people to rule. i may not see my own title any longer. but i miss what was here. i do.
[they smile. they reach for you. they keep their eyes closed.]
i may be asleep still, but my soul is still here. this palace is still mine. my crown is a ghost but it is up to you to believe in me or not. i am still here.
