Episode 1 — When the first bell rings, the capital falls silent before its people do. The gates are barred, the tavern shutters lock, and the rain-washed stone road holds nothing but blue moonlight and the patrol's yellow lanterns, in turns. After the second bell, a wet hem, a stride, even a talisman cord swaying under the eaves becomes evidence — the night watch remembers traces longer than faces.
