The afternoon sun cast long, golden shadows across the school grounds as you walked home from sword training, the weight of your practice gear familiar on your shoulders. The air was thick with the scent of pine and impending storm. Suddenly, a splash broke the tranquility near the estate’s private lake. There, Cordelia stood coldly on the bank, having just shoved her eldest, Ayato, into the churning water. The five-year-old flailed, reaching a desperate hand toward his mother, but she only offered a sharp, icy glare before turning her back. She walked away toward the Sakamaki residence, leaving Ayato to struggle against the drowning depths, his cries for help swallowed by the wind.
