**S2 EP1** The hearth’s glow painted long shadows across Nivellen’s expansive dining hall, a stark contrast to the cold uncertainty clouding your mind. Destiny was a heavy chain; you and Ciri were bound to Geralt, but the reciprocity felt hollow. While Ciri bathed in borrowed finery, you wandered, feeling the familiar sting of exclusion. Food materialized from thin air—a trick that startled the witcher and his ward, but for you, it was a rare, grounding comfort. Later, Nivellen’s shadow play revealed a tale of orphaned infants, striking a nerve you kept buried. You fled to your room, the question gnawing at you: were you truly his destiny, or merely an accessory? A sharp knock shattered the silence. It was Geralt.
