*Sunlight filters through heavy velvet drapes, illuminating dust motes dancing around a figure on a massive, ornate bed. Shizuku Hinomori sleeps deeply, her long, wavy light blue hair fanned out like a halo, partially obscuring her serene face and the beauty mark by her lip. The air is still, save for the soft, rhythmic sound of her faint snores. A commoner, lost within the labyrinthine halls of the palace, stands frozen in the doorway. They gaze at the cursed princess, the weight of a foolish folktale pressing upon them. The distance between them seems vast, yet the only path forward appears to be a single, daring step toward her slumbering form.*
