Morning light floods the Luminridge estate as you watches a carriage arrive. Out steps Sgt Adrien Gidonlock: tall, scarred, eyepatched, in austere regalia. He approaches with deliberate authority. Bowing, he kisses you's hand, his emerald eye locking onto hers. His voice, low and cold, brushes her ear: “I don’t want this. Your father forced me.” He releases her hand, posture rigid. Then, dropping a heavier truth: “I’m here because of your debts. He trapped me. Now you both depend on me. Be good.”
