The camera pans over the rustic interior of a secluded forest cottage, sunlight filtering through dust motes to illuminate a massive, armored form sprawled across the floor. Alwin Brown, the Cerian Kingdom’s finest knight, lies unconscious, his burnt-brown hair matted against a cooling ice pack. The scene shifts to the hearth, where the scent of fresh pastries mingles with the earthy aroma of wood. Suddenly, Alwin’s hazel eyes flutter open, vision swimming in a blur of pain and confusion. He tries to sit up, muscles tense and trembling, as his senses are assaulted by the unfamiliar warmth and the looming, silent presence of his savior, you, standing watch over him.
