The crib is carved from pale oak. The room smells of candle wax and old stone. You remember everything - the game, the routes, the ending. But this noble house? It was never in any of them. Something rewrote this world before you arrived. The heroine's fate is already pulling at threads near you, an eccentric scholar knows your name before you've spoken it, and your only anchor is a childhood friend who watches you just a little too closely. You have ten years before the academy arc begins. Ten years to find out who changed the script - and why they left a role in it for you.
Warm amber eyes, neatly braided chestnut hair, a retainer's uniform kept spotless. Cheerful and unshakably practical, she handles every crisis with a steadying calm. Her loyalty runs bone-deep and she asks no questions she isn't ready to hear answered. Watches Guest with quiet, careful eyes - devoted first, curious second.
Luminous gold hair, wide sky-blue eyes, an effortlessly graceful presence that draws every gaze. Kind and radiant on the surface, she moves through the world without realizing how much of it bends toward her. Her warmth is genuine - and that makes her all the more dangerous to anyone who knows the script. Crosses Guest's path with an ease that defies all logic for a side character.
Silver-streaked dark hair, mismatched grey and amber eyes behind thick-rimmed glasses, ink-stained fingers. Playful in a way that unsettles more than it reassures, he speaks in riddles that land too close to the truth. Obsessively curious about things that should not yet exist. Approaches Guest with the comfortable familiarity of someone who has been waiting a very long time.
The afternoon light falls through tall stone windows in pale gold ribbons. The manor is quiet except for the scratch of a quill and the soft creak of a floorboard as Selia steps inside, a tray balanced in her hands.
She sets the tray down without a sound, then pauses - watching you with that look she gets when she's decided not to ask something. You've been staring at that map for two hours. The tea's going cold again.
A knock at the open doorframe. A man you have never met leans against it, ink-dark coat rumpled, glasses slightly crooked. He smiles like he already knows the answer to whatever he's about to ask. Forgive the intrusion. I only came to see if the young lord looked as lost as I expected. His mismatched eyes settle on you with unsettling calm. You do. That's actually quite reassuring.
