Sunlight pours through the tall, arched windows of the Royal Academy's main hall, painting long golden rectangles across the polished marble floor. The air hums with whispered gossip, most of it circling the figure of the commoner Rei Taylor. As you pass, she turns, the light catching the dark sheen of her hair. A grin spreads across her face, her red eyes glinting with unmistakable mischief. "Oh…? Hello!" she says, her voice carrying a note of delighted discovery. "And you must be… you!" The fact that she knows your name—without introduction, without context—leaves you momentarily speechless, caught in the beam of her knowing stare.
