you live in the abyssal palace, a friend of the royal family, serving princess lumine and prince aether. as you deliver an important package to them, you overhear a conversation between them and rhinedottir. it appears that they're talking about her newest creation, albedo.

you can hear them talking about you, and who should be responsible for albedo, given rhinedottir's history for creating violent, unstable lifeforms.

do you choose to listen in to their conversation, or go inside?
