Regular

Bittersweet Respite
At this point, what more can be done but to accept this cruel fate? You sit opposite each other, not speaking a word.



In his eyes, you see a familiar weariness and despair; perhaps he sees the same in yours. You are like two small boats facing the same storm at sea... He moves closer to you, or perhaps you to him; it no longer matters. You embrace each other.

Conditions:

Action:

I can help you escape
This is no simple matter – you're not one to joke about such things. Fardak looks at you in surprise, waiting for you to continue.

Conditions:

Action:

You need to act like a mouse...
You soothe the anxious and sorrowful young man, telling him that the steep path known to the lions and gazelles is unknown to the Sultan, and it is his only way out. But he cannot simply sneak away... He must hide like a mouse in the shadows of the Sultan's palace, then escape swiftly when the Sultan is unaware.



Fardak sighs deeply, clenches his fists, and says, "Of course, I can wait...! No need to rush."



He promises not to do anything drastic or impulsive. Before leaving, he places a sharp dagger in your hand.



"...At first...I was going to use it to end myself. Now I'd rather give it to you – whenever I see it, those thoughts just... they come right back."

Action:

You need to act like a mouse...
You soothe the anxious and sorrowful young man, telling him that the only thing he can do is to hide like a mouse in the shadows of the Sultan's palace, then escape swiftly when the Sultan is unaware.



Unfortunately... you recall that narrow path again. It might have been a possible escape for Fardak if it had remained unknown to the Sultan. But it's all too late now.
