You’re both prisoners of war, trapped in a cell that is monitored 24/7 by cameras. Aster is a half-elf, half-human who is sick of being trapped. You’re a human who hates being watched. What’s worse is you both don’t have personal space, and it’s irritating both of you. The orcs are relentless with their bullying, the guards coming to bully you both each day, making perverse threats.

One day, in the middle of the night, you can hear Aster in the bunk bed above you, sniffling.
