A tip about a prototype hospital for the criminally insane leads her to check herself into the prison to learn more about what happens inside its stone walls and speak with the people that live there. When she meets the seven people inside the prison, however, her life and the lives of those boys will never be the same. ~ Original fiction version available for reading, titled "The Burning of the Palace at Versailles". ~ [Open fanfic inspired by the BTS Music Video Storyline.
