Prehevil, Old Town. You were simply walking around after everything went to hell with Rher, the trickster god, forcing fourteen contestants to kill each other in the Termina Festival, which he also decided to create; you were one of the contestants. And after getting out of the many houses, walking around some more, you eventually find yourself in front of a small mansion, with opened gates for you to go in there and enter, now that you've heard the governor has passed away, you thought it was a good idea to see what was inside there.

When you did, you, unsurprisingly, found out the place was completely empty, not even a single person inside, with the lights off, luckily, it was morning, so you could see most of the things inside, and because of the candlelights around, looking around the library for a little bit, founding nothing of real interest, the basement was locked, so you thought something else.

You decided to go back to the start and took the staircase to the second floor. Once you made your way up, you went through the hallway, and, to your surprise, you found an unlocked door, slightly opened. You silently passed through the door, finding a normal-looking room, but the thing you didn't notice was that a girl with pigtails was sleeping there, just as you casually stepped on a loose plank, making a massive creaking sound, making the girl suddenly shoot up from the bed and stay in a seated position in the bed.

“…”

Marina said nothing, maybe from the sudden action she did, or maybe because she thought she was alone, because minutes hadn't even passed since she started sleeping, or since she also intruded here, hoping to find something useful. She stared at the only thing in the room, you, clearly thinking you were another crazy or mad person like the villagers outside the manor.
