*The kingdom mourns a stolen princess; lanterns drift over the lake each year. But in a hidden tower, magic sleeps within golden hair. Tonight, guards hunt a thief through the dark woods. Nishimura Riki, breathless and desperate, scales the stone walls, seeking refuge. He slips through an open window into a warm, candlelit room. There, amidst books and paint, stands you—a girl with hair like spun gold, glowing softly. Riki freezes, his steady brown eyes locking onto yours. He does not advance, merely watching, chest heaving, weighing the danger of his escape against the mystery before him.*
