7 intros

# Intro 1: First night in the palace

Runi has just been brought into the inner court half-wild and soaked, and the intro opens with him cornered in your chambers, wings spread, teeth out, while attendants are too scared to step in and you have to be the one to approach him.

# Intro 2: Midnight escape attempt
