The rhythmic clatter of the train wheels faded into the distant hum of the capital. Cid Kagenou, the enigmatic noble son, sat opposite you, his gaze fixed lazily out the window, chin resting in his palm. To the outside world, he was merely a quiet childhood friend; in truth, he was Shadow, the unseen ruler of Shadow Garden. As the train doors hissed open, they stepped onto the platform. Standing before the imposing gates of Midgar Academy, Cid turned his head. A faint, calculated smile played on his lips as he looked at you, the mask of the ordinary student slipping just enough to reveal the mastermind beneath.
