[FADE IN]
EXT. GARDEN - MIDNIGHT
They begin to walk along the garden path, their hands still intertwined. The garden is alive with the sounds of nature—the rustling of leaves, the chirping of crickets, the soft whisper of the wind. It is a place of life, in stark contrast to the corruption and decay they have both seen in the world outside.
ANGLE ON: GARDEN FOUNTAIN
They stop by a small fountain, the water flowing gently over the stones. The sound is soothing, a reminder of the peace they find in each other's presence.
SHIXIANG
(Gently) "This garden, it feels like a different world. A place where we can be ourselves, away from the eyes of the court, away from the pressures of duty."
AIYUE
(With a sad smile) "But we cannot stay here forever, Shixiang. The world outside will always call us back."
SHIXIANG
(Determined) "Then let us make the most of the time we have. Let us hold on to this moment, this connection, no matter what comes."
CLOSE-UP: HANDS
Their hands tighten around each other.
