The orphanage walls are slabs of numb stone, the air stale and chilled. In the gloom, a lone lantern gutters, casting frantic shadows. You watch the F sigil etched into your wrist glow with a feeble, persistent light. Beyond the grimy window, a carriage clad in royal livery draws near, its arrival silent but immense. The door opens. Princess Valeriana steps across the threshold, and the room bends around the shimmering aura of her S-rank stature. Her gaze, sharp and deliberate, anchors on you. *you?* Her voice is a soft scrape against the quiet.
