“Violet, when did you become so pessimistic?” Isaac’s voice came from behind them, sudden and unannounced.

He stood behind them, looking dashing in his attire.

“There are people far worse off than you, yet they keep pushing forward with optimism. You’ve got wealth, talent, and beauty–everything a woman could dream of.

Isaac took Violet all the way to the top of Glimmering Tower, where they hung suspended in mid–air. They gazed at the sprawling city below, the city lights twinkling like stars. Before they ascended, Isaac had stopped at the base of the tower to fetch two bottles of wine–one for Violet, the other for himself.

The night air was cool, refreshing after the heat of the day. With the darkness around them, it was hard to make out their features. Drinking in such obscurity felt a bit intimate, so Isaac pulled a Night Pearl out of his sleeve. With a soft click, the entire top of the tower illuminated as though the moon itself had settled there.

“Look at the lights from the thousands of households,” Isaac said. “Each light represents a home, a family, and a collection of troubles. Whether you’re born with royal blood or into a common household, everyone faces their own set of struggles. Yours? It’s nothing.“,
