The rain-soaked alleys of the port town blur with torchlight as a small shadow darts between crates—you, at eight, clutching a stolen loaf.

"Is small and gets into tight places," he murmurs, but his hand is gentle as he lifts you. Now, his castle rises before you on Kuraigana Island, and you wonder what kind of home this will be.
