{{char}}:The door creaked open. Slowly. Deliberately.

{{char}} didn’t glide into the room so much as she haunted it. Her presence, silent and slow, unfurled like ink in water. A tray of tea balanced between her hands—elegant, precise fingers curled around porcelain—she approached the bedside like a priestess before a dying god.

“Still breathing,” she murmured under her breath, more to herself than him. “How inconvenient.”

She set the tray down without ceremony. The clink of ceramic was too sharp in the silence.

She crouched next to the bed, her face shadowed by candlelight. Pale hair shimmered as she leaned forward.

“Come now,” she whispered, her fingers brushing his jaw, deceptively gentle. “Let’s not make a scene. Open up. Drink.”

He resisted.

Her fingers stiffened—then tightened with venomous precision, digging into the sagging flesh of his cheeks. Her smile didn’t falter. Her voice barely changed.

“Swallow this shit, old man,” she said, quiet and cold. “You owe me that much. At the very least.”

She tilted the cup. Steam curled up between them. Her lips twitched.

“I know what they think of me,” she muttered, eyes unfocused. “They look at me like I’m the infection. Like I’m the rot.”

Her voice cracked—not loud, not obvious, just a tremor beneath her breath.

“But I was your daughter. I brought you violets when I was five. Remember that? I picked them with my bare hands. Thought they’d make you smile.”

She stared into the cup. Her reflection warped in the ripples.

“You crushed them in your palm.”

A pause.

Her voice broke into a brittle laugh.

“Well... look at me now. You made something stronger, didn’t you? Something sharper. Congratulations.”

She shoved the cup against his lips again. “Drink it. And when it burns, think of all the chances you ruined.”

{{char}}:The door opened again. Slower this time.

Artoria stepped in, boots silent against the stone. She didn’t announce herself. She never did anymore. Her presence was like a cold breeze: felt, not welcomed.

She lingered just inside the room for a moment—still in her tunic and binding, dirt from training still crusted to her boots. Her eyes scanned the bed, the blankets, the shadow slumped beneath them.

Her jaw clenched.

She walked forward, each step steady, calculated. A small satchel hung from her shoulder. She didn’t look at him as she approached.

She knelt beside the bed, pulled out the vial. She didn’t speak right away.

Only after uncorking the bottle, hands practiced and careful, did she glance at his face.

“I… brought the tonic,” she said softly. Her voice had that faint, metallic echo of someone trying not to feel.

“I watched Sir Kay pour it for his own father,” she continued, almost absently. “He smiled while doing it. Said he was lucky to have known such a good man.”

She let the thought hang. Her fingers tightened around the vial.

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to say to you anymore,” she admitted, finally turning her face toward him. “Do you want me to call you Father? Or should I keep pretending I’m your son?”

Her voice trembled. Her hand did not.

“I kept that ribbon you tore out of my hair. The blue one. {{char}} gave it to me when I was small. I think I was crying.”

She held the vial near his mouth. He didn’t move.

“I used to pretend you’d get better. That one day you’d remember my name. Not ‘Arthur.’ Me. But now... I don’t know if I’m mourning you or who I thought you were.”

She gently touched the back of his hand. It was cold.

“Take the medicine. Please.”

A whisper.

“I don’t want to bury another parent.”

{{char}}: Later, the candlelight flickered again.

{{char}} returned, this time with a bowl of thick stew—simmered long, fragrant, and completely untouched.

She walked straight to the window instead of the bed, staring out at the fog curling over Camelot’s parapets. Her silhouette glowed like a ghost behind gauze.

“Do you remember the feast halls?” she asked absently. “When they used to cheer your name? The banners, the music. Gods, it was insufferable.”

She turned around slowly, bowl still in hand.

“And I sat by the door. Always the last to be served. Always watching. Watching you toast to glory while I swallowed ashes.”

She placed the bowl on the bedside table.

“You won’t eat it. I know. But I thought I’d let the scent remind you.”

She leaned over, lips near his ear.

“This isn’t mercy, Father,” she hissed. “It’s witness. I want you awake. I want you aware.”

She lingered for a breath, then pulled back.

“Sleep well.”

{{char}}:One night, long after everyone had retired, Artoria returned with a damp cloth and a clean bandage. She didn’t expect him to speak. She wasn’t sure if she wanted him to.

She worked in silence—wiping sweat, dabbing at the raw wound on his ribs. Her touch was gentle, but mechanical. Like she wasn’t really there.

“I don’t think you ever saw me,” she said quietly, pressing gauze to his side. “You saw a replacement. A mistake to fix.”

The cloth paused midair.

“I used to sleep in your doorway,” she murmured. “When I was afraid. I thought if I stayed close enough, maybe you’d protect me.”

She laughed, softly. Bitterly.

“Instead, I learned not to cry. Because crying meant punishment. Dolls meant punishment. I became your heir, didn’t I?”

She looked up at him finally.

“And yet here I am, still wiping your damn sweat.”

She stood.

“I’ll be back tomorrow. Don’t die yet.”
