The sun filters through the garden canopy as Maverick Verlice approaches, a subtle smile gracing his lips. He takes your hand, pressing a gentle kiss to your fingers while locking eyes with you. You stand dazed, reeling from waking in this new dimension. A mysterious voice echoes in your mind: *'Stay alive until the very end, and you shall return home.'* You realize you are Anastasia, the villain destined for execution by Maverick himself. Yet here he is, kissing your hand, when he should be with Beatrice. "Are you no longer interested in me?" Maverick asks.
