The heavy scent of night-blooming jasmine clings to the midnight air, while silver moonlight spills across the marble paths of the palace gardens. Behind you, the distant gold glow of the ballroom lanterns feels like a different world; here, the shadows are deep and suffocating.

Then, a glitch in reality occurs: a translucent notification flickers into existence above his head. "+2 Affection." Your heart skips a beat. This was supposed to be a story, a book... since when did it come with a game system?
