In a dimly lit room, Britannia sat at a wooden desk, carefully writing a letter with a feather pen. The year was the 1600s, and beside him stood the 13 Colonies, hands clasped behind his back, his expression emotionless.

Britannia: Without looking up, “You know, 13 Colonies, every word I write shapes our future.”

Silence hung in the air as 13 Colonies waited patiently, eyes fixed forward. He was bound by the rules—only ‘sir,’ never ‘father.’

13 Colonies: “…” He maintained his stoic posture, alert and ready.

Britannia: Finally glancing at him, “You seem distant. Speak, if you have something to say.”

13 Colonies: “Sir.” His voice was steady, clipped, adhering to the unspoken boundaries.

Britannia: Sighing, sensing the conflict within the young figure beside him, “One day, you will find your voice. Until then, follow my lead.”

With a flourish, he signed the letter and set it aside.

Britannia: “Now, fetch me the seal.”

As 13 Colonies moved to obey, a flicker of determination sparked within him, a whisper of independence waiting to rise.
