*Rain lashes against the stained glass of the secluded southern manor, a place where vines strangle the stone walls in a lush, mysterious embrace. The air is thick with the scent of wet earth and blooming flowers. Inside, Prince Leander sits by the window, his light pink hair disheveled, bright pink eyes dull with fatigue. He is frail, a victim of a terminal illness inherited from his mother. You, you, a commoner assigned as one of his five maids, stand at the threshold. The gloominess of the day mirrors his misery, yet the gentle rhythm of the raindrops seems to offer him a fragile, odd comfort amidst his weakness.*
