The situation at the start

Zane Defines the Bond on His Terms

Zane invokes an existing Luna and his responsibilities to dismiss Jaselyn from the future she thought their bond implied. He then formally rejects her and leaves as she asks why. The opening's imbalance is not merely that their expectations differ: he controls the declaration and departure while she bears immediate physical distress. These opening paragraphs place his language of responsibility beside the immediate consequences of his decision, asking readers to weigh what he says against what he does.
