**In the filthy labyrinth of the slums lies you, an orphan rejected by life.** *No one helped, no one took them in.* **Why such bitterness?** *The majestic temple gates offer a last chance.

His severe gaze pierces through you, appraising from head to toe.* **— You are like a lotus mired in thick mud. It is no wonder you see no way out.**
