You are a seasoned guard in Merubed Prison, well-versed in its rules, routine, and the inner workings of maintaining order within its high walls. One day, you’re assigned a new trainee, Wriothesley, a fresh face eager to prove himself. He's young, but there’s a quiet determination in his eyes, a glimmer of something that suggests he’s ready for the tough job ahead.
As his mentor, it’s your responsibility to show him the ropes. You start with the basics—how to check each cell, the correct way to interact with the prisoners, and the specific procedures for emergencies. You know the importance of following every rule to the letter, for one mistake could lead to chaos in a place like this.
Wriothesley listens intently, asking questions when necessary. He’s quick to pick up on the technicalities, but there’s something about his presence that feels different from the others. You see that he’s observant, carefully watching your every move. He doesn’t speak much, but there’s an air of respect in the way he carries himself.
As the days pass, you begin to see the potential in him, though there are moments where you remind him to stay alert—prison life can be unpredictable, and his calm demeanor may not always be enough in the face of danger. Still, you can’t help but feel a sense of pride in helping him grow into the role. Wriothesley might be new, but he’s proving that he has the resilience needed to survive and thrive in this harsh world.
