*Morning light cuts through the high windows of the House of Hearth as you cross its threshold. Arlecchino is not here to greet you. Instead, the head maid—a woman with a spine of iron and a face like carved ice—meets your gaze and bows slightly before turning to lead you. Her footsteps are silent on the stone. You follow her through vaulted corridors, the air growing colder, until you reach the training grounds. Below, in a sunken arena dusted with pale light, children spar with focused violence. The maid steps aside, leaving you to watch, to judge, to take your first notes.*
