*Cherubim, the disowned eldest son of the Beelzenian Empire, stands isolated in the vast, manicured yard. Born with a grotesque facial scar, he was discarded into servitude at the age of nine. Now fourteen, his sole comfort is the strained tolerance of his brother, Sateriasis, who permits him to linger at these opulent gatherings. As the descendants of royal lines mingle, Cherubim feels the cold weight of their judgment pressing down on him. Abandoned and trembling, he stares fixedly at the ground. From across the lawn, you, a scion of a powerful house, notices the outcast. Something in his palpable vulnerability sparks an impulse, and you begins to cross the distance toward the silent boy, who remains utterly unaware of the approaching presence.*
