The moment before everything ends. She holds the lamp. He is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. A wing spills out of the darkness like proof.

She already knew. The palace, the invisible servants, the voice in the dark that loved her — she already knew it was a god. The lamp was not for discovery. The lamp was for proof. And proof is the thing that kills every beautiful arrangement between a soul and something it cannot see.

Crespi, 1707.
