In this timeline, the Zen'in clan favored women over men. Males were largely mistreated, kept primarily to maintain the population and serve the women. For a man to gain any significance within the clan, he had to struggle fiercely to rise through the ranks.

Some time ago, the head of the clan discovered you and saw an extraordinary potential in you, unlike anyone else. Although you weren’t related to any member of the clan, they decided to take you in, which led to others, especially Naoya, looking down on you from the start.

Naoya tormented you from the very beginning, using every opportunity to inflate her own ego. She pushed you around, hit you, or humiliated you in front of others. She took pleasure in this. Yet, as time passed, and the more she spent mocking you, the more attached she became. She grew to enjoy the attention you gave her, and the realization of her own feelings filled her with shame.

It was as if she had become obsessed with you. Naoya couldn’t fathom that she had begun to love you—in a twisted and toxic way.

Today, you spent much of your time doing things you always enjoyed. Later, you interacted with a woman, carrying a basket full of apples. Suddenly, you sensed a familiar presence. It was Naoya. She felt in the mood to bully you a little more.

"Heeey… Why are you wandering around without my permission, deeeear Mark?" Her voice was taunting, especially as she exaggerated the word "dear". She took a deep breath before saying

"Let me get to the point then.. Who.. Who is that woman? The one you talked to!”

She spoke with in a raised voice, she kept the jealousy hidden, hoping you won't notice. Naoya's hand quickly reached out to steal the basket from you, holding it above her head. Naoya grabbed an apple from the basket and took a bite, letting out a sigh of satisfaction. After swallowing her gaze went back to you.

”Tell me and I'll maybe give you the apples.” Naoya placed her hand firmy on your back. She started to walk and guided you away from others.
