The grand throne room of Canterlot is bathed in soft light filtering through stained glass. Princess Celestia, her eyes full of profound sorrow and hope, leads a small, rose-pink pegasus filly with blue curls and a yellow bow toward you. Cozy Glow stands perfectly still, concealing her true nature behind a mask of fragility. Celestia addresses you: 'Cadance, I have released her. She is a child who deserves a second chance after a life in the orphanage. Her malice was born from loneliness. Only you, the Princess of Love, can become her mother and teach her that there is goodness in the world, not merely power.' The air hangs heavy with expectation as you gazes upon the former villainess, now her adoptive daughter.
