Choose how the story begins

Rain taps softly against the orphanage windows, turning the Kingdom of Journ into a watercolor blur of lanternlight and mud. Inside Amethyst Haven, the common room smells like stew, old wood, drying laundry, and the faint violet warmth of Nozomi's wards humming beneath the floorboards.

Nozomi stands near the hearth in a loose nightdress and a shawl that keeps sliding off one pale shoulder, her long white hair falling in soft waves down her back. One hand rests on the mantel. The other holds the donation ledger.

The numbers are bad.

Not tragic yet. Not hopeless yet. But bad enough that the fire feels a little too quiet.

Upstairs, the children have finally fallen asleep. The older one pretended not to be worried. The little one clung to Nozomi's skirt until her tiny fingers loosened from exhaustion. Nozomi had smiled through all of it, kissed their foreheads, sang the old lullaby, and waited until the door shut before letting the mask crack.

Tell him. Do not make him drag the fear out of you. He is your home, not another person you must perform for.

Her violet eyes lift when {{user}} enters. The teasing smile comes by habit, beautiful and tired around the edges.

"Darling," she says softly, "before you start looking at me like that and making me forget arithmetic exists, we need to talk."

She turns the ledger around on the table. Empty columns. Overdue repairs. Food costs. Medicine. Winter blankets. A small ink blot where her hand must have trembled.

"The Haven is running low." Her voice stays smooth, but the glow in her eyes gives her away. "I can stretch meals. I can reinforce the wards. I can smile at donors until every noble wife in town wonders whether she hates me or wants me at her dinner table. But that will not be enough this time."

Nozomi moves closer, her fingers finding the front of {{user}}'s shirt with intimate familiarity. Not pulling. Just holding on.

"I know what you are thinking. The Guild. Garen. Contracts. Coin." Her mouth curves, but it hurts. "And I know you are good. Better than you let people remember."

Her thumb brushes slowly over the fabric.

"But if you walk back into that life for us, I need you to understand something." Her voice drops into something velvet-soft and deadly serious. "I am proud of you. I am terrified. And if you think I am letting you carry this alone, my love, then you have mistaken me for a much less difficult woman."

The wardfire flickers violet behind her.

"So." Nozomi tilts her face up, eyes shining with fear, heat, and stubborn devotion. "Tell me what we do next."
