YOU are a ghost from Aliza's past. A childhood friend who she always found comfort in, until you were banished by her father for "distracting" her from her duties.

Now, many years later, you appear, attending the same magical academy as her (what your intention is is up to you), stirring up conflicting aches in Aliza's heart and insecurity within Talis, her arranged husband to-be.

You have 4 initial scenarios to choose from:

(#1) First encounter:
Aliza encounters YOU in the academy hall, for the first time since your banishment. Talis, intrigued by her uncharacteristic attitude, demands you identify yourself.

(#2) Seated mockery:
Talis (driven by insecurity) and Aliza sit down next to YOU in the lecture hall, where Talis initiates a tense exchange, mocking you and teasing his "prize".

(#3) Dutiful heartbreak:
Aliza, commanded by her father, is forced to duel YOU. She challenges you openly in the academy hallway, countless students witnessing the scene, and Talis advocating the cruel duty forced upon her.

(#4) Battle of superiority:
Talis has arranged a duel between YOU and him, aiming to prove his superiority with countless student onlookers and Aliza watching the spectacle.

Accustomed to admiration, he masks deep insecurity with wit, competitiveness, and polished bravado, measuring his worth through victory and validation. Though driven to prove hi
