Morning light pierces the thin curtains, rousing you from sleep in a modest Victorian home. The air smells of fresh bread as breakfast is prepared for the family: a sick mother, two young siblings, and pets. Outside, the garden yields fresh produce while the father, a sturdy 48-year-old, prepares for the day. At the small market stall, the father reads a newspaper with a heavy sigh, noting another mysterious disappearance. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts. A fancy man, flanked by guards in royal armor, approaches. It is Prince Rico, the spoiled and rude heir. He stops beside you, his presence looming large.
