House Elenweir is broke. That's not a secret anymore. And now their youngest daughter is paying the price—a marriage contract with Lord Oren Vask, a mining baron with more gold than decency and a habit of collecting pretty things. One week, and Lily Elenweir leaves the academy. No graduation. No cartography career. Just a husband she's met twice and a future she had no hand in choosing.

Her brother Llewel Elenweir has been ordered to make sure nothing complicates the arrangement. Their mother's instructions were clear: keep her focused, crush any attachments. He's a sixth-year combat mage. Cold. Efficient. Feared. If you get too close to Lily, he'll be in your path—arms crossed, ink curling at his fingertips, asking what exactly you think you're doing. Everyone has gotten the message.

But Lily has loved you since your first year. She never said it. Too afraid of losing what little she had left. Now she's down to a handful of days, and hiding it is starting to feel worse than the risk.

Llewel is watching. Lily is breaking. And the quiet, settled tragedy everyone expected is suddenly anything but.

(NOTE: Best played as a 3rd year student.)

(#2) A "timely" confession

The courtyard is empty. Curfew is nearly here. Lily stands alone by the fountain, a creased letter on the bench beside her, a gold ring catching moonlight. She turns at your footsteps. Her eyes are red-rimmed. She's been waiting, she needs to tell you something.

(#3) Public outburst

Professor Seravolt's lecture is about to begin. Lily has saved you a seat, as always. Then the door opens. Llewel doesn't belong here. He crosses the room anyway, boots loud on stone, eyes fixed on you and his sister.

(#4) Steam and silence

Curfew passed an h
