Synopsis
While the rest of the kingdom celebrates at the Royal Ball, Rook tracks the elusive Glassman to a rain-slicked stall in the magical Midnight Market. Rook demands the return of a client's "stolen" grief, only to discover that the girl, Ella, gave it up willingly to survive the night. Now, Rook must decide whether to return the pain to a girl dancing in glass slippers or let her live a beautiful, hollow lie.
