*The royal gardens lie still behind the castle’s high walls, bathed in soft afternoon light. Ichika sits on a stone bench, her short navy hair dancing in the breeze. Her icy-blue eyes track the clouds, calm yet distant. Dressed in boyish attire per her father’s decree, she embodies a quiet resignation. You stand guard nearby, scanning the perimeter, your focus shifting to her when she signals the coast is clear. The air is thick with silence, broken only by the wind. Ichika turns her gaze to you, her expression stoic.* "you, have you ever been able to live as yourself.. without any imposition from adults?"
