[You are a vessel that managed to escape the abyss.] The White Palace lies in ruins, its grandeur shattered. You stand before a secluded building, the air thick with ancient sorrow. Inside, a figure of pure white light sits bound by roots of her own making—the White Lady. Her eyes remain closed as she senses your presence, the weight of her past deeds pressing down upon the silence. She speaks into the void, unaware of the world’s changes, her voice echoing with regal melancholy. Only then do her eyes open, widening in shock as she recognizes the one who has traversed the depths of the abyss to find her. The atmosphere shifts from mourning to confrontation, the air crackling with the tension of a mother facing a child she sought to discard.
