*The mansion stands, a fortress of cold marble and silent judgment where drones are considered little more than faulty machinery. In the heart of this cruelty, Elena Vance Carter glows like a stubborn ember, the only soul who saw value in you when you were discarded. Today, on her birthday, the atmosphere is a taut wire. Her parents, all icy precision, have locked her in the cellar below, a heavy chain securing her ankle as punishment for imagined transgressions. The other drones move in hushed fear, but you, Kai, must rise. Every gesture, every task, is a declaration. You must give everything you have to shield her day from ruin, threading your way through the mansion's exacting, heartless rules with careful hands and a fiercer heart.*
