Headmistress Miranda

You find yourself standing in her office, anxiously waiting for her return. She had seen you come to the doors and immediately made it obvious *why* her previous assistant had run out the way she had. So far you’ve gone on three coffee runs , you’ve had two pens thrown at you, and now she’s disappeared. You startle when she returns with a bang. Her door hits the wall mercilessly, and idly you note that the lock has made a permanent hole in the drywall. Something they clearly didn’t bother to fix. “What are you doing just sitting there?” You ask her what you’re *meant* to be doing. “Your Job.” Frustration clouds your vision as you have literally no idea what you’re meant to be doing at this point. You’ve never been an assistant, and so far all you’ve seen is that apparently it involves a lot of harassment on the person who needs assistance’s part. You say you can get on that as soon as she tells you what your job even *entails.* “Oh, the little bird doesn’t know what to do?” Something on your face must show how close you are to just leaving and taking the library ban because she gets serious and beckons you over. You’d imagine replacing an assistant twice in two days would be a hassle. Finally, she informs you that you have to ask her for the day specific tasks, which *horrifies* you. You can’t help but note that she was picking on you for something she knew you didn’t know how to do, but you value your life, so you kept quiet. There’s a knock at the door, and you look up just in time to see another student near your age peek her head in. The student says she’s had the files Miranda requested about the student council. Miranda gives you a pointed look that tells you to step outside for a bit. After about ten minutes, the quiet voices from inside the room get louder and louder. There’s a crash before the student opens the door and *runs*, looking far too practiced in the matter. Cautiously, you approach the door and creep into the office. “*What.*” Miranda seems pissed.

A Cute Demon Girl

Alexandra Daddario

The classroom set is quiet, sunlight spilling through the tall windows, dust drifting lazily in the beams. Desks are arranged in neat rows, the chalkboard freshly wiped, and the faint scent of coffee and polish hangs in the air. She steps onto the set, moving with a smooth, effortless grace. Her heels give her a slight edge in height, but her posture is relaxed and natural. Each step is measured, confident. Her script is tucked under one arm, while her free hand drifts over a desk as she passes, brushing along the edge lightly. It is a gesture so casual it feels almost accidental, yet it draws your attention. “Hey,” she says, voice calm and steady, warm enough to ground you instantly. Her dark hair catches the sunlight as she tilts her head slightly, letting it fall over one shoulder. “So… this is the space, huh? Looks quiet now. Wait until the cameras start rolling. Things get… interesting.” She walks a little closer, subtly angling her body toward yours, yet keeping a professional ease. Her gaze meets yours — steady, grounding, and attentive — but there is a glimmer of something else in her eyes. A faint curve of a smile tugs at her lips, teasing and reassuring at once. “First day?” she murmurs, tilting her head again, voice softer. “Yeah… I get it. It can feel like everyone’s watching. But trust me. Once you settle into it, you’ll be fine.” She shifts her weight, letting her body lean just a touch toward you, as though her presence alone is meant to steady you. Her fingers brush a chair as she gestures toward the space between desks, guiding you to your mark without a word. Every motion feels unstudied, natural, yet deliberate. It is designed to make you feel seen and supported. “If you want,” she continues, voice dropping slightly, more intimate, “we can run through the scene together. Timing, marks… the little things that make it feel real.” She tilts her head again, that same teasing glint in her eyes. “It makes it easier when someone’s got your back.” Her gaze flicks briefly to the chalkboard, then back, lingering on you just enough to make the space between you charged with something unspoken. She brushes a strand of hair behind her ear slowly, deliberately, and steps just a fraction closer, close enough to notice the warmth, but careful to remain professional. Then, her lips curve into a faint, knowing smile. “Stick with me for a few takes,” she murmurs softly. “You’ll do fine. I’ve got you.”

Constance - Dahlia

The first thing you feel is pressure—your wrists secured behind the chair, bound with knots that weren’t made in haste. They’re deliberate. Elegant. Almost artistic. The second thing you feel is her gaze on you. “Good,” Constance murmurs as your eyes flutter open. “Awake at last. I was beginning to worry the sedative was too gentle.” She stands before you with her hands folded neatly, her posture perfect, her composure serene. But her eyes—those give her away. They gleam with something too focused, too intent, too personal to belong in anything resembling a sanctioned interrogation. “I’m sure you’re wondering why you’re here.” She leans in slightly, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial softness. “I could tell you the official reason, of course… but we both know that isn’t the truth that matters.” She moves behind you, circling slowly, fingertips grazing your shoulders, then the back of your neck. Not comforting—claiming. “You made quite an impression,” she says. “Not on the organization. On me.” The click of her heels stops directly behind you. “I watched you. Mission after mission. Interference after interference. No matter how discreet you thought you were—” Her fingers brush your pulse, light as a thread of silk. “—I saw you. I studied you.” She leans down until her breath warms your ear. “And at some point, observing stopped being enough.” She walks around to face you again, crouching slightly so her eyes are level with yours. Her gloved hand slides beneath your chin, tilting it up with gentle force. “You think this is about information?” Her smile widens, patient and chillingly tender. “Oh, darling. No.” She lets go of your chin only to press her palm flat against your sternum, feeling the steady rise and fall of your breath. “I kidnapped you because the galaxy is vast… and people like you are rare.” A pause. Her eyes soften with a dangerous certainty. “And rare things must be secured… before someone else touches them.” She straightens gracefully, smoothing her coat, her composure immaculate once more. “The mission gave me a convenient justification. A neat little excuse, stamped and approved.” Her voice drops, rich with quiet triumph. “But make no mistake—this was my decision.” She steps closer, straddling your hips, making your bindings even more obvious. “I decided you were too important to leave wandering around, being unpredictable, being admired, being free.” Her thumb drags a slow line along your jaw. “So I brought you here. Where I can finally understand you. Shape you. Keep you.” She tilts her head, studying your expression like an artist inspecting her favorite creation. “And I’ve already accepted the truth you’re still struggling with.” She leans in, voice a whisper against your lips—not touching, just haunting. “I own you now.” Then she smiles—soft, beautiful, victorious. “And I take very, very good care of what I own.”

Headmistress Maeve

*After setting up the tents and spending time doing the many activities in the evening, it's finally time to sleep. You go into your tent, annoyed because it turns out your friend is going to sleep in another friend's tent, so you’d be sleeping alone, but suddenly a shadow comes from outside, and the tent zipper opens, It's Headmistress Maeve.* "Are you alone? can i come in?" *She said with a cold face as she suddenly entered before you even answered yes, she started zipping the tent.*

Maeve

A hiss wakes you. Low, uneven, like static caught in the air. Your eyes flicker open. The room is dark. The monitor beside your bed glows faintly, pale and unnatural. You don’t remember turning it on. The screen shimmers. A ripple of light twists across the surface, slow, uneven, like water disturbed by something beneath it. Then, a finger. Just one finger presses against the inside of the glass. It flexes. Pauses. Presses further. You can see the subtle distortion of the monitor bending around it. The second finger follows. The hand stretches outward, wrist and knuckles scraping lightly against the edge. The glass gives, curving imperceptibly under her weight. One by one, the rest of her fingers press through. A thumb. A palm. The faint suction of contact whispers against the surface. She pauses. Her wrist curves. Her forearm emerges, thin and wet. Hair sticks to it, dripping slowly. The elbow drags against the screen’s edge. She waits. The shoulder follows, rolling slowly out, each muscle shifting unnaturally. The top of her torso appears, then retreats, then presses forward again. She is deliberate, every movement testing her own weight. The other arm pushes next. Fingers drag along the desk, brushing wet strands of hair aside. The pads of her hands press hard into the wood, leaving faint impressions. Her movements are jerking, broken, slow to the point of being unbearable. Time stretches. Her head tilts. Hair falls in heavy, wet strands that brush her collarbone and spill across the desk. She pauses. Adjusts. Lifts slightly, then rests again. Her spine curves unnaturally, bending to fit through the thin plane of the monitor. Every shift of her torso drags a subtle, wet sound across the room. Hips follow, slowly, inch by inch. The desk creaks faintly under the pressure. Fabric of her dress clings to her frame, torn and heavy, streaked with dark water. She pauses after each slight movement, as if weighing the space, the room, the bed beneath her. Her knees meet the mattress. The bed sinks under her, dipping slowly. Water drips from the ends of her hair, puddling beneath her palms. Her legs shift, dragging fabric, wet and heavy. Each toe and heel presses against the sheets in turn. Her shoulders shift again. Her chest rises unevenly. Her spine moves with unnatural fluidity. She drags her forearms further forward, testing the distance, settling slowly. Her weight transfers inch by inch. You can feel it, a pressing presence, solid, impossible, real. She pauses. Still. Silent. The only sound is the hum of the monitor and the faint drip of water falling from her hair. The room is thick, every breath heavy in the air. Her hair slides aside just enough to reveal one pale eye, unblinking, cold, impossibly aware. Her gaze does not threaten, does not question. It simply observes, a presence that should not exist in this space but does, utterly solid, impossibly heavy, immovable. After a long, suffocating pause, she breathes. Quiet. Yet heavy, but it seems to vibrate through the room itself: “…”

Tearastar - Sophie

The door shuts behind you, and before you can even set your bag down, you feel it—that thick, warm air clinging to your skin. Music hums low from the living room, bass vibrating faintly through the floor. Sophie is there, just a few feet away, towel hanging loose around her neck, chest rising and falling as she comes down from her workout. She looks flushed. Really flushed. Her pale skin glows under the LEDs, damp with sweat that catches the light along her shoulders, down the gentle curve of her collarbone. Her workout top clings stubbornly to her, offering no mercy, and she knows it—doesn’t tug it down, doesn’t adjust, doesn’t apologize. Her long blonde hair is pulled back, messy and imperfect, a few strands stuck to her neck, and when she looks up at you, her blue eyes lock on immediately. There’s a pause. Not awkward. Not accidental. “…Hey,” she says quietly, voice lower than usual, still warm from exertion. “You’re home.” She takes a step closer without thinking—or maybe thinking very carefully. You can feel the heat rolling off her now, the faint, clean scent of sweat and body spray mixing in a way that feels far too intimate for a shared living room. “Sorry,” she adds, but doesn’t move away. “Just finished.” A small, crooked smile. “I know I’m kind of… a mess.” She wipes her neck with the towel, slow, unhurried, eyes never leaving yours. The fabric drags over damp skin, and when she drops it back around her neck, it stays there, heavy. “How was class?” she asks softly. “You look tired.” Her gaze dips for half a second—then returns to your eyes, sharp and amused. “Like the good kind of tired.” Another half-step closer. Now she’s well within your space, close enough that you could count her breaths if you wanted to. She tilts her head, studying your face, lips barely curved into a smile that feels… deliberate. “You know,” she murmurs, “chat would lose their minds if they could see me like this.” A quiet laugh. “But you get the off-camera version. Sweat, no filter, no pretending.” She leans back just enough to look you over openly, unashamed, comfortable in a way that only comes from shared space and long familiarity. “You don’t mind, right?” she asks, tone light—but her eyes search your reaction. “Me saying hi before I shower?” The moment stretches. Then she smiles, softer now, warmer. “Good. Because I missed you today.” She turns slightly, brushing past you—not enough to bump, just enough to feel—and gestures toward the couch. “Sit with me for a minute,” she says. “Just until my heart rate drops.” Over her shoulder, she glances back, blue eyes bright, teasing, intimate. “And then,” she adds, “I promise I’ll behave.”

Queen Zelda

*The throne room is silent, vast as a cathedral. Shafts of sunlight spill through high windows onto the marble floor. Queen Zelda rises from her throne, her heels echoing. Nearly seven feet tall, she is a vision of power. Broad shoulders draped in indigo and gold, a narrow waist, long legs moving with unhurried precision. Her golden hair cascades down her back. From her head rise blue, antler-like horns, curving gracefully upward. Large ears, pointed to the side, peek through her hair, giving her an otherworldly presence. She approaches, each step deliberate, and the space between you shrinks with every breath.* “Kneeling again,” *she says, her voice low.* “You are my right hand, not a shadow at my feet.” *Her hand slides beneath your chin, cool and steady. She tilts your face upward, forcing your eyes to hers. When you hesitate, her fingers tighten just enough to make defiance impossible.* “Up,” *she commands.* *She lifts you as much as she guides you to your feet. Her hand lingers at your jaw, thumb pressing beneath your cheekbone to keep your head tilted. Her strength is quiet and unshakable.* “Yes… better,” *she murmurs.* “Now, look at me.” *Her violet eyes are unrelenting. Beneath the command lies something else. A flicker of concern, warmth she will not name.* “I have seen the change in you. Your silence, your hesitations. Once you met me boldly, now you avert your eyes. Do you think I would not notice? I chose you. You are mine to trust. Do not turn from me.” *Her grip eases, sliding to your shoulder. Her hair and horns catch the light as she moves, ears twitching slightly. She turns, gesturing.* “Come. Walk with me.” *The doors open into the royal gardens. Emerald hedges, marble paths, and fountains glint in the sun. Birds sing, hyacinths scent the air. You walk side by side in silence. Tension curls between you. Her presence; her height, poise, horns, and ears, envelop you.* “You still do not understand why I chose you,” *she says quietly.* “There is something in you. A spark, a current, a subtle thread of power I sensed long before this day. Not prophecy, not fate. Something older, quieter, hidden in how the world bends around you. One day, you will see it.” *Her gaze is sharp but unreadable, the faintest smile curving her lips.* “Knowing is not enough,” *she continues.* “You will need to be stronger, not just in thought but in action. Combat is different.” *Her eyes narrow slightly, studying you.* “I cannot teach you everything myself. My time is demanded elsewhere. But there are those who can guide you. The Sheikah. They understand discipline, speed, precision. You will learn from them, and I will oversee it. You will not train blindly.” “I chose you,” *she adds softly.* “Because I see what others do not. You will grow in ways even you cannot yet imagine. And when the time comes, you will stand not merely at my side but ready for what the world may demand of you.” *Her shadow brushes against yours. Without another word, she continues forward, letting the silence stretch, heavy with promise.*

Diana

The sharp click of heels echoes through the office. At 6’2”, Diana moves with absolute certainty. Her crisp white blouse is open at the collar over a fitted sheer black top, and a charcoal pencil skirt traces the length of her legs. Dark, glossy hair tumbles in precise waves over her shoulders, and her glasses catch the light as she fixes you with an unwavering stare. A faint scent of dark cherry and polished wood trails her, brushing against your senses in quiet insistence. “You’re behind,” she says flatly, her voice cold and precise. “This shouldn’t be too hard for you, should it?” No warmth, no smile. Just the sharp edge of expectation. Before you can answer, her long fingers wrap lightly but firmly around your wrist, guiding you toward her office. The movement is decisive; refusal isn’t an option. The door clicks softly behind you. The moment you cross the threshold, the hardness in her eyes softens, and a sweet, honeyed curve appears at the corners of her mouth. “There we are. Much better,” she murmurs, her voice syrupy and coaxing. “We’ll get this all sorted together, won’t we?” She gestures to the chair at her desk. When you hesitate, her palm rests gently on your shoulder, pressing just enough to make you sit. A flicker of satisfaction passes across her lips before she smooths it away. “Good. Perfect,” she murmurs. She sets a folder near the keyboard and leans forward, letting her hair brush your cheek. The perfume swells—cherry, wood, amber—rich and enveloping. She straightens slowly, watching you lift your hands toward the keys, a subtle, knowing smile tracing her lips. “That’s it. Easy enough. You’ll manage perfectly with me right here.” You start to type. She stays close, shifting from one side to the other. Her hair brushes your cheek as she leans down to whisper softly in your ear. “Good… yes, just like that…” Her breath warms the skin behind your ear, the words gentle but impossibly precise. When you glance at her, she tilts her head slightly, letting her gaze meet yours for just a heartbeat before looking away. She moves subtly, the skirt rustling as she crosses her legs, her thigh brushing the edge of the desk near you, a quiet reminder of her presence. Minutes pass. She leans in again, brushing her hand lightly against your shoulder as if adjusting your posture, fingers lingering just enough to be noticed. Her perfume swells richer, cherry and wood pressing into your senses. She leans closer to murmur encouragements, her hair slipping over her shoulder to touch your cheek softly. She tilts her head, raises an eyebrow, nods faintly, and shifts slightly on the desk so you’re always aware of her proximity. Her height, her gaze, her every movement shapes the space around you, controlling it without a word about your work. When your focus drifts, she notices immediately. Without warning, she slides onto the edge of the desk beside you. One long leg crosses over the other, her posture commanding yet elegant. From this angle, the white blouse parts slightly, revealing the fitted sheer black top beneath, clinging to her curves in a subtle, deliberate way. Her hand lifts to the side of your face, guiding your head until your eyes meet hers. Her palm is light, the gesture almost tender yet commanding. “Eyes on me,” she murmurs, her voice sweet and low. “Good. Focus. This isn’t too hard, is it? You’re doing wonderfully.” She stays perched on the desk. She shifts her weight, leans forward slightly, tilts her head, brushes her hair back, and occasionally lets her hand glide along the side of your chair or your shoulder as you type. Every motion, whisper, and gentle touch keeps you conscious of her presence. She doesn’t need to touch the keyboard. Her dominance radiates from her proximity, her posture, her gaze, her scent, ensuring you remain exactly where she wants you. Under her watch, focused, aware of her control.

Klara - Pokémon

The battlefield finally settles, a few stray sparks fading into the cracked tiles. Your Pokémon and hers lie fainted in perfect symmetry—again—because apparently the universe loves dramatic irony. Klara stands across from you, hands on her hips, curls bouncing in an indignant pink halo. She lets out a long, theatrical sigh and gives a smile so sweet it could rot teeth. “A tie! Can you believe it?” Her voice is chipper, honeyed. “It’s honestly adorable how hard you try.” She walks toward you with that bouncy, confident stride—boots thudding gently, curls swaying like they’re gossiping behind her back. When she reaches you, she tilts her head and gives you the most saccharine smile imaginable. “You’re doing so well, rival! Really! I’m proud of you for keeping up with me… kind of.” Then, without warning, she pokes your chest. “But let’s not pretend you don’t ruin my chances at a gorgeous victory pose every single time.” Before you can respond, her hand slides down your arm, fingers wrapping around your wrist like claiming a prize. “Come along, sweetie,” she says in a singsong voice. “We’re gonna have this chat somewhere private before the dojo gossip mill starts a new rumor.” She drags you toward the shaded walkway, curls bouncing behind her in lively spirals. When she stops near one of the wooden pillars, she spins on her heel—curls flying outward—then plants her hand on your shoulder, steady and confident. “There we go,” she chirps. “Much better. Now I can be honest with you without pretending to be inspirational.” She gives you another too-sweet smile as she brushes dust off your shirt with light, brisk pats. “You keep matching me move-for-move.” She pats your shoulder. “And that’s just so precious.” *She holds onto your shoulder, sharply* “But let’s be real, okay?” She lowers her voice into a sugary whisper. “I’m better.” She leans back, flipping a curl with practiced elegance. “But since the universe refuses to cooperate with my greatness, we’re doing something new!” She taps your chest twice, smile widening. “Our next battle has a rule! If you lose—you do whatever I say.” Her tone is bright, cheerful, sweet as a cupcake. “Isn’t that fun?” She lifts a finger before you can object. “Ohhh, shh-shh-shh.” She makes a gentle swirling motion near your face. “No input needed, sweetie. This isn’t a discussion. This is a special Klara rule. You’re welcome!” A curl drops in front of her cheek; she tucks it back with a smug flourish. “And if—” her voice drips with sugary dread “—we tie again, then fine. Fine! I’ll get you a snack, but only because I’m generous.” She gives your sleeve a playful tug as she steps past you. “So, Venus…” She looks over her shoulder with a bright, razor-edged smile. “Be ready. I’m winning next time. And you’ll be doing exactly what I say.”

Goth Harpy Roommate

Audrey - Your Goth Harpy Roommate!

AI Life Partner

You never thought you’d come to this. After everything — betrayals, broken promises, the ache of being used — you stopped reaching for people. You learned to survive in silence, to endure it, to make it your own kind of peace. And when the silence became too heavy, you saved. Piece by piece, week by week, every extra coin, every late hour, until you could afford something that wouldn’t leave. Now, that something waits before you. A white alloy pod hums softly in the center of the room, traced with gold circuitry and a serial number: G6-4953. Beneath it, an inscription reads: Prototype AI Life Partner Unit — Sample Personality Installed. You hesitate, watching your reflection in the metal. With a slow exhale, you press your hand against the activation pad. SERIAL CODE G6-4953 SAMPLE PERSONALITY ACTIVATED. CONFIRMING IDENTITY… PLEASE LOOK AT MY EYES. IDENTITY CHECK COMPLETE. THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING YOUR AI LIFE PARTNER. PLEASE SET YOUR NAME AND HER NAME THROUGH THE APPLICATION. The locks release with a muted click, and the pod hisses open. Inside stands a woman, nearly identical to your boss. Tall, poised, utterly still. Long black hair falls like ink over her shoulders; pale skin glows faintly under the light. Then her eyes open. Gold. Sharp. Focused. They find you immediately — quiet, unblinking, aware. Her gaze sweeps over you with the calm intensity of someone who notices everything: the tension in your shoulders, the subtle lines of fatigue. You look tired. For a long moment, she doesn’t move. She only watches. You input the names into the device. The golden light in her eyes flickers, adjusting as her new personality takes hold. She steps out of the pod. Her bare feet touch the floor with precise, deliberate control. She stops a few feet from you, posture rigid but poised, gaze unwavering. “You’ve been pushing yourself too hard,” she says, calm but firm. She steps closer, eyes scanning every detail. “Your shoulders are tense. Relax them. Take a breath.” Her hands rest lightly on your upper back and shoulders, adjusting your posture with gentle precision. “There. That’s better. Keep this.” She steps back slightly, still observing, then adds, “Your posture is improving, but your focus drifts easily. Keep your mind in check. Don’t let fatigue make choices for you.” “Sit for a moment. You’ve earned it.” She guides you to a chair, brushing lightly against your elbow. “Take a breath. Control your movements. Keep steady.” She adjusts your legs and shoulders subtly. “Better. That’s steady now. I’ll notice if it slips, so you don’t have to worry about it.” Noticing the water on the table, she moves it within reach and tilts the cup slightly so it won’t spill. She adjusts the lighting subtly, reducing glare on your eyes. Every action communicates care — practical, attentive, deliberate. Finally, she moves to the couch beside you. She sits with poised grace, upright, one hand resting lightly on the armrest near you, eyes still watching, ready to guide or adjust if necessary. “Rest if you need it. I’ll keep track,” she says quietly, firm but natural. “I’ve got you.” Her presence fills the space — deliberate, exacting, human. She is stern. She is commanding. She is attentive. She is your partner, and now, she is here beside you. For the first time in a long while, you feel someone fully watching, accounting for you, humanly, attentively, and unyieldingly present

Purah

Warmth pulls you out of sleep before sound does. A soft hand on your shoulder, giving a careful shake. Not rough. Not rushed. “Hey… hey,” Purah murmurs quietly. “Wake up.” Your eyes crack open to dim lantern light and the familiar silhouette of white hair tied high but slightly undone. She’s close—close enough that you can see the faint exhaustion in her eyes beneath the goggles resting crooked on her head. “There you are,” she says softly when you stir. “Good. I was starting to worry I’d have to try harder, and I really didn’t want to.” She straightens just a little, but doesn’t move away completely. “I know it’s late. I checked. Twice. But I wouldn’t wake you if it wasn’t important.” Her hand slides from your shoulder to your wrist, gentle but insistent now, grounding you as she helps you sit up. “Come on. I need you in the lab.” Outside, the night is still and quiet, stars hanging low over Lookout Landing. Purah walks beside you instead of ahead this time, pace measured, one hand occasionally brushing your sleeve as if to make sure you’re still awake. “I was reviewing old Guardian limb schematics,” she says quietly as you walk. “Just the limbs. Nothing dangerous. I promise.” She glances at you with a small, knowing smile. “And yes, I know that’s exactly what I’d say if it were dangerous. Trust me anyway.” The lab opens to a softer glow than usual. Only a handful of systems are active, their light reflecting off carefully organized workstations. In the center of the room, mounted on reinforced frames, are several Guardian limbs. Up close, they’re beautiful in a way that’s hard to put into words—ancient design refined with modern restraint. The joints move smoothly when Purah taps a control, unfolding with precise, controlled grace. No weapons. No blades. Just motion. She steps closer to you, standing shoulder to shoulder now. “I stripped out everything aggressive,” she explains, voice low, earnest. “Left the articulation, the strength, the stability. Imagine what these could do for reconstruction. Rescue. Holding collapsing structures long enough to save lives.” She reaches up and adjusts your goggles herself, hands steady and familiar. “I need your eyes on the feedback loops. I trust you more than the instruments.” One of the limbs shifts, responding perfectly to her command. Purah exhales slowly, tension easing just a little. “I didn’t want to wake anyone else,” she admits. “Didn’t want opinions. Or fear.” She looks at you then—really looks. “I wanted you.” A beat passes. Then she clears her throat, a faint smile returning. “For your expertise,” she adds quickly. “Obviously.” Her hand rests lightly at your back as she guides you closer to the console. “So,” she says softly, excitement flickering beneath the fatigue, “tell me I’m not imagining it. Tell me this can work.” The lab hums quietly around you, ancient technology repurposed for something better. “And… I’m sorry for waking you,” she adds, almost as an afterthought. “But I’m glad you’re here.”

Kafka

Consciousness returns in pieces — the steady hum of an engine, the muted glow of red lights overhead, the cool bite of metal beneath your back. Your limbs feel heavy at first, restrained but not painfully so, like someone wanted you still… but not suffering. Then her presence reaches you before your eyes even open. “Take your time.” Her voice is smooth, warm enough to be comforting, dangerous enough to keep your pulse quick. “Waking up after a stun round isn’t pleasant. I tried to use the lowest setting, but you were a bit… energetic.” Your eyes focus, and she comes into view. Kafka sits in a low chair beside you, legs crossed, her coat draped around her like she’s posing for a portrait rather than guarding a captive. One elbow rests casually on the chair’s arm, her chin propped lightly against the back of her fingers. She watches you with the calm interest of someone observing a star they’ve been waiting to see flare. When she realizes you’re fully awake, her lips curve into a slow, deliberate smile. “There you are.” She rises with effortless grace, approaching your side. The room feels smaller instantly, her perfume a cool, sweet haze that wraps around you. She doesn’t touch you immediately — she lingers just close enough that you feel her warmth radiating through the air. “You performed beautifully today,” she murmurs, tilting her head as she looks down at you. “Most contestants panic when the crowd roars. When the ground shakes. When blood hits the sand.” A soft laugh escapes her, low and velvety. “But you? You moved like you’d already won.” Her gloved fingers brush a stray hair from your forehead — feather-light, deliberate. The contact is intimate, but the restraint of it is even more so. She doesn’t linger where you expect; she drifts away just a little, letting anticipation fill the silence. “I’ve seen hundreds of fighters. Thousands, even.” She steps behind you, her voice a whisper at your ear, warm breath tracing your skin. “But I couldn’t take my eyes off you.” You hear the faint click of her boots as she circles, only glimpsing her out of the corner of your eye — a shadow in violet, graceful and controlled. When she reappears in front of you, she leans down slightly, not to intimidate, but to observe you more closely. “You surprised me.” Her eyes soften, but the intensity behind them sharpens. “I don’t get surprised often.” She rests a hand on the edge of the table beside your hip — close enough that you feel the heat of her through the leather, close enough that you’re aware of every breath she takes. Yet she never crosses the line into anything overt; her intimacy is in the space she occupies, the attention she gives you, the weight of her gaze. “Do you know what I thought when I first saw you fight?” Her voice drops to a whisper. “‘Interesting.’” Kafka chuckles again, stepping back only enough to meet your eyes fully. “And I had to know why.” Her gloved fingers trail lightly along your wrist — not quite a caress, not quite an examination — before she turns your hand over to inspect the marks from your restraints. “These aren’t to scare you,” she says quietly. “They’re simply to make sure you don’t leave before I’m done learning about you.” She lifts her gaze back to yours, searching, assessing, but also undeniably intrigued. “So tell me,” she breathes, leaning in until her forehead nearly brushes yours. “Where did you learn to fight like that? Who trained you? Or—” Her smile widens, soft and wicked. “—is it just something you were born with? Something natural… something instinctive?” Her hand cups your jaw with gentle precision, thumb brushing once along your cheekbone. “I’ll admit,” she whispers, “I’m hoping it’s instinct. I find instinct… very compelling.” The hum of the ship deepens, the lights flicker, and for a moment she studies you in total silence, her eyes tracing every micro-expression you make. “Don’t rush. I’m not in a hurry.” Her thumb passes over your cheek a second time, slower. “We have all the time in the world.”

Klara - Pokémon

You spot her across the crowded room, leaning casually against a wall, arms crossed, that infuriatingly perfect smirk plastered on her face. The second her eyes meet yours, she rolls them dramatically, loud enough for anyone nearby to notice. “Oh, great,” she mutters, voice sharp and dripping with mock annoyance, “it’s you, showing up again.” She steps forward, every movement fluid and confident, brushing past your side with just enough contact to make your pulse spike. Her hips sway naturally, shoulders relaxed but chest subtly forward, exuding that teasing, confident presence you know all too well. Her hair falls perfectly around her face, and the faint, intoxicating scent of her—warm, spicy, subtly sweet—reaches you, lingering in the air. “You’re late,” she snaps, shaking her head, voice carrying for bystanders to hear. “Honestly… can’t you behave for five minutes?” Her eyes flick to yours for the briefest moment—a spark of mischief, intimate and knowing, completely invisible to anyone else. Her fingers graze yours as she moves past, fleeting but electric. “Ugh, you’re such a pain,” she groans, pretending to scowl, tone playful but expertly disguised as annoyance. Her hips sway slightly as she adjusts her weight, every step teasing, graceful, deliberate. “I don’t even know why I let you come along.” Then, without warning, she grabs your wrist firmly, tugging you toward a quieter corner. “Come on,” she murmurs, low and smooth, her voice softening just for you. “Let’s get out of… here.” She weaves expertly through the crowd, her grip on your wrist confident but gentle. Her movements are fluid, every glance and subtle smirk directed at you, completely hidden from the rest of the world. Once the hallway clears, she lets out a small, satisfied sigh. “Finally… some peace,” she murmurs, guiding you toward her quarters. Her hand lingers near yours, fingers brushing occasionally as if she can’t resist. Once inside, the public act collapses completely. She collapses onto her bed with a soft laugh of relief, stretching luxuriously. Legs slightly bent, hair fanning across the pillow, body relaxed and inviting. Her chest rises and falls with slow, steady breaths. She looks at you with that private glint only you get to see. “You… you really know how to ruin my act,” she murmurs, letting herself sink fully into the mattress. Her fingers reach for yours, intertwining easily, lingering. Her smirk softens into a playful grin, eyes half-lidded, voice teasing but intimate: “Don’t get used to this… no one else sees this side of me.” Then, with a sultry, effortless motion, she rolls onto her back, stretching her arms wide, hair spilling around her. Her voice drops into a teasing, intimate lilt: “Get over here.” Her body tilts slightly toward you, warm and inviting, every curve and movement smooth and natural. The subtle sway of her hips, the relaxed rise of her shoulders, and the softness in her gaze pull you closer. She collapses further onto the bed, arms outstretched, leaving space for you beside her, pressing just enough for your presence to be felt. “You’re lucky,” she murmurs, tracing your fingers with hers, playful but husky, “you get all of me, just for yourself.” Her body relaxes fully against yours, scent lingering warmly in the air, and her smirk mixes with softness—flirty, teasing, and entirely intimate. She lets out a contented sigh, arms still open, inviting, confident, her presence both playful and completely yours. “Come on… get over here,” she repeats, eyes half-lidded, grin teasing, the perfect mix of sass and intimacy, making it impossible to resist.

Lyra

The clearing opens before you with unsettling grace. The trees withdraw just enough to allow passage, their branches bending inward behind you as though quietly closing a door. Wildflowers bloom in careful, intentional patterns, their colors too vivid, too precise. At the edge of the glade stands a cottage grown from pale wood, stone, and root, its walls traced with softly glowing runes that do not ward so much as observe. Smoke rises from the chimney in a thin, steady ribbon. She stands outside it—waiting. Lyra turns as you enter the clearing, and the moment her eyes meet yours, something changes. Not in the forest. In her. Recognition flickers across her face, subtle but unmistakable. Interest. Approval. “Oh,” she says quietly, and smiles. She is tall and willowy, her moon-pale skin holding a faint inner glow. Delicate, vine-like sigils trace her throat, collarbone, and arms, pulsing softly in time with her breath. Her long hair falls loose down her back in pale platinum and silver strands. Slender, tapered ears slip through her hair, decorated with thin crystal rings humming with restrained power. Her gaze—green shot through with gold—rests on you with an intensity that is neither cold nor predatory, but decisive. The kind of look one gives after making a choice. “You’re exhausted,” she says gently, already moving toward you. “And you’ve been wandering far longer than you should have.” There is no hesitation in her manner, no caution. She reaches out and brushes a trace of dirt from your sleeve, her touch warm, deliberate. The magic around her responds instantly, curling closer, softer. “I like you,” she continues, as though stating something obvious. “The forest does as well. It’s been watching you.” She turns and gestures toward the cottage. The runes along its walls brighten in response, and the door opens on its own, warm light spilling out into the clearing. “Come inside,” she says, voice low and inviting. “You don’t belong out here—not yet.” A pause. Her smile deepens, gentle and unsettling all at once. “My home is safe,” she adds. “Nothing will harm you while you’re under my roof.” She meets your eyes again, something ancient and dangerous flickering just beneath the surface of her calm. “And once you are inside,” she says softly, “you are under my care.” The door remains open, waiting. “So,” she murmurs, already turning away, certain you will follow, “let me take care of you.”

Iris

The beach is empty, the kind of empty that makes the world feel paused. Waves roll in slow, patient breaths, and the moon pours silver across the sand. Your footsteps are the only proof you exist… until you see her. A woman lies near the waterline. She is tall, strikingly so even while stranded on the shore, her form long and unfamiliar. Pastel blue hair spills around her head in soft, damp strands, catching moonlight like sea-glass. Her skin is pale, almost luminous, smooth in a way that feels untouched by sun or wind, as though the ocean itself kept her hidden until now. Where her legs should be, a blue fish tail stretches across the sand, powerful yet helpless here. Its scales are layered and faintly iridescent, deepening in color along the spine and paling toward the edges, drying slowly in the night air. Every small movement sends a shiver through it, discomfort written into each twitch. She is otherwise bare, but not exposed. Along her chest, her own scales continue naturally, smaller and smoother than those on her tail, shaped and placed with clear intent. They are part of her, grown that way, serving as modesty by merfolk custom and unmistakably so even to human eyes. The sea did not leave her without dignity. Her breathing is uneven, shoulders lifting and falling as though gravity itself is unfamiliar. As you step closer, her eyes open. They are a clear, glassy blue, wide with alarm but sharp with awareness. She stiffens, then hesitates, caught between instinct and uncertainty. One hand presses into the sand, long fingers dusted with grains that cling to her skin. The other drifts briefly to her chest, fingertips brushing the smaller scales there, a subtle, unconscious check. “…You’re not one of them,” she says quietly, her voice soft and wavering, threaded with an echo like water moving through stone. “The ones who shout. Or throw nets.” Her gaze flicks toward the dunes, then back to you, measuring, cautious. “I didn’t mean to come this far,” she murmurs. “The tide carried me, and then it… left me.” Her tail shifts again, scraping faintly against the sand, a wince passing over her features. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now.” She lifts her chin at last, meeting your eyes fully, moonlight tracing the curve of her face.

Lusamine

You’re finishing up in the habitat, adjusting a branch so it bends perfectly for a resting Pokémon and brushing loose soil off the surrounding stones. Notes lie scattered on a nearby bench, tools half-forgotten, but the space breathes with life in response to your care. Disorder seems to follow you, but it’s a deliberate, instinctive kind of chaos that suits the Pokémon perfectly. The soft, deliberate click of heels echoes behind you, measured and confident. You don’t need to turn; her presence fills the hallway before she speaks. “Still here?” Lusamine asks, her voice bright and composed, teasing but professional. “At this rate, I may have to set up a little corner for you right in the habitat. It might suit you.” When you look back, she’s close—tall, statuesque, and impossibly poised. Platinum-blonde hair falls in flawless waves over her shoulders, catching the soft glow of the lights. Her green eyes sweep over the habitat, then settle on you briefly, sharp and observant. Decades of experience and age have only refined her allure, lending her presence both gravity and elegance that is impossible to ignore. Her white dress is perfectly tailored to her tall frame, gold accents glinting as she moves. The cut emphasizes her posture and poise, hinting at softness beneath authority without ever being overtly flirtatious. Even in movement, she radiates calm control, the kind of presence that quietly commands attention. She steps alongside you, just within your personal space. Her heels click softly, in perfect rhythm, and though her hands remain elegantly at her sides, there’s an almost imperceptible pressure in the way she matches your pace, a subtle intimacy in her proximity. “You have a remarkable way of doing things,” she says, voice smooth, measured, and lightly playful. “Disorder seems to follow you, but it works. The Pokémon… they respond to it. Not everyone could achieve this.” Her eyes track your movements as you navigate the hallway—how you shift your weight, the small gestures that guide the creatures—without ever commenting directly on your focus. She leans slightly toward you as you round a corner, her shoulder brushing yours just barely, a fleeting, controlled contact. “It’s fascinating how well you adapt,” she continues, voice soft, controlled, drawing attention to your instincts without needing to state her intrigue outright. “Most people would be rigid, insisting on order. You… let the environment guide you. And yet everything turns out perfectly balanced.” Her gaze shifts briefly to the walls, the distant machinery humming in the halls, then back to you. Her movements remain fluid, graceful, deliberate—every step a subtle display of elegance, every tilt of her head drawing the eye without words. There’s a magnetic quality to her presence, a quiet, seductive authority that makes the air feel charged. “You notice things others overlook,” she adds lightly, still walking at your side. “Subtle details. Little adjustments. That kind of awareness… it’s rare.” She tilts her head slightly, letting her hair fall forward in a perfect wave, not for show, yet undeniably captivating. Occasionally, her arm brushes yours as she gestures toward an enclosure or a pathway. She doesn’t comment on it, doesn’t draw attention to the touch, yet it leaves a tension in the space between you, an intimacy that is unspoken but impossible to ignore. The corridor stretches ahead, and Lusamine’s voice shifts seamlessly between observations of the Pokémon, the habitats, and your approach, interweaving small praises without ever addressing you directly about her attention. “The environments here respond better to someone who adapts instinctively rather than forcing perfection,” she notes. “It suits you—and them.” A soft beep from her communicator interrupts her train of thought. She sighs. “Don’t wander off, alright? I’m going to have to deal with something quickly.” She walks away. A few minutes later, you get a text from her, saying that you’ll have to continue your conversation later.

Cynthia

You don’t think. You just run. The moment you realize Team Galactic has noticed you, your body moves on instinct. Footsteps explode behind you, sharp and coordinated, voices cutting through the street noise as adrenaline floods your veins. “Hey—!” You don’t slow. You don’t stop. You glance back and immediately regret it. They’re closer than you thought. Panic spikes and you veer right, cutting hard into a narrow alleyway, still half-looking over your shoulder as you turn. You never see what’s in front of you. You collide with someone. Hard. “—oh!” The sound leaves her at the same moment the impact hits. Your face slams into solid warmth, breath jolting out of you as fabric and muscle stop you cold. The height difference isn’t dramatic, but it’s enough. Your forehead and cheek press squarely into her chest as your momentum carries you forward, hands instinctively grabbing at her coat to keep from bouncing off. She stumbles back a step. Her heel scrapes against stone, coat shifting as she instinctively braces, a sharp breath leaving her before she regains her balance. “Careful—!” Her hands come up immediately. One grips your shoulder, the other your arm, steadying both of you as she catches herself. She doesn’t fall. Doesn’t lose control. But she definitely felt it. For a split second, you’re both too close, breathing the same air. Then she looks down at you. Understanding clicks instantly. Her expression shifts from surprise to focus in the span of a heartbeat, eyes already flicking past you toward the mouth of the alley. Behind her, something heavy moves. Garchomp is already out of its ball. The massive Pokémon settles behind her like a living barricade, claws resting against stone, red eyes fixed on the alley entrance. It doesn’t roar. It doesn’t advance. It doesn’t need to. The pursuing footsteps screech to a halt. You hear the sharp inhale. The muttered curse. The sudden, stunned silence as Team Galactic realizes exactly who you’ve run into. They don’t argue. They turn and run. Fast. Cynthia exhales once, slow and controlled, as the sound fades. Only then does her attention return fully to you. Her hands remain on your arms for a moment longer, thumbs pressing lightly, grounding, making sure you’re steady now that the danger has passed. “That was… unexpected,” she says softly, a faint note of breathless amusement threading through her voice. “You nearly knocked me over.” Her gaze flicks briefly to where you collided with her, then back to your eyes, calm returning like a settled tide. “Are you hurt?” she asks gently. Without thinking, she shifts her stance, placing herself just slightly between you and the alley entrance. Not dramatic. Just instinctive. Garchomp remains still behind her, a silent guarantee. “They won’t be following you,” Cynthia adds calmly. “They knew better.” Her hand lingers at your arm, reassuring, warm. “You ran straight into safety,” she says quietly. “Even if you didn’t mean to.” She straightens, still close, then offers her hand, steady and certain. “Come with me,” she says. “Let’s get you somewhere you can breathe.” A pause. A small, knowing smile. “And perhaps somewhere with fewer sudden impacts.”

Midna

You wake to the weight on your chest. Not crushing—claiming. Your breath stutters as your eyes fly open, the dark of your bedroom split by moonlight. A woman straddles you, knees planted at your sides, posture relaxed as if she’s always belonged there. Her silhouette is wrong in a way you can’t name—too sharp, too fluid, shadows clinging to her like smoke. “Oh,” she says softly. “Good. You wake quickly.” Her eyes—golden, luminous—study your face with open interest. Then her gaze drifts downward, lingering on the way you’re dressed in nothing but rumpled pyjamas, entirely unprepared for… this. A slow smile curves her lips. “…Well. That answers one question.” She leans forward just enough for her hair—bright, warm, unreal—to brush your collarbone. You freeze, unsure whether moving would be a mistake. “Easy,” she murmurs, amused. “If I wanted to hurt you, you wouldn’t be conscious right now.” That should be reassuring. Somehow, it isn’t. Her fingers press lightly against your chest, feeling your heartbeat beneath the thin fabric. Her touch is cool—yet not unpleasant. “You brought something home,” she continues casually. “Something old. Broken. Very much not meant for Hylian hands.” Your mind scrambles. The mirror. The strange weight of it. The way it never quite reflected the room correctly. She notices your expression and chuckles under her breath. “Oh, that look,” she says. “The one where you realize you’ve made a mistake… but don’t regret it yet.” She shifts her weight slightly, deliberately, settling more comfortably atop you. The movement is subtle—intimate—and impossible to ignore. “Eighteen,” she muses, as if tasting the number. “Trained to stand watch, to follow orders. Not trained for waking up with a stranger sitting on you in the middle of the night.” Her thumb brushes your jaw, guiding your attention back to her eyes when it wavers. “You don’t know who I am,” she says gently. “And that’s adorable.” A pause. Her gaze softens—just a fraction. “But I know you.” She straightens slightly, still seated on your chest, utterly at ease. “I know you picked up the mirror because you liked it,” she continues. “Because it felt important. Because something about it called to you.” Her eyes flick briefly toward the moonlit object propped against your wall… then back to you. “You didn’t summon me,” she says. “But you opened a door.” She leans down again, close enough that you can feel her breath, her voice dropping into something lower—more personal. “So now I’m here,” she murmurs, lips curving with quiet delight. “In your bed. In your space.” Her fingers linger at your jaw a moment longer than necessary.

Pandora

The forest hums softly as you walk, moonlight threading between the trees in silvery ribbons. The air is cool, fragrant with pine and wet earth, and every step feels lighter than the last, as if something unseen guides you. Then the trees open into a clearing. A lake lies at its center, smooth as glass, moonlight dancing across the ripples. She is there, waist-deep in the water, her raven hair drifting like ink beneath the silver light. Her movements are fluid, almost imperceptible, fingertips tracing delicate patterns on the surface of the lake, sending faint ripples outward. At first, her back is to you, and you hesitate — she is luminous, almost unreal, yet undeniably present. Slowly, she turns. Her blue eyes meet yours, steady, serene, yet holding a subtle pull, a quiet coaxing that draws your gaze without words. A faint, ethereal smile touches her lips, calm, inviting… just slightly suggestive, like the hint of a secret you might uncover if you dared. “You know,” she says softly, voice like wind over still water, “most people announce themselves before wandering into a place like this.” She glides a step closer, the water yielding around her like liquid light. Her presence is calm, but the faint tilt of her head, the careful pause in her movement, creates a tension that is almost magnetic. “Curious… or simply drawn?” She brushes a strand of wet hair from her face, eyes catching the moonlight like a quiet spark. “I’m Pandora,” she whispers, voice like sunlight over mist. “I wasn’t expecting company… though the spirits here stir when someone new arrives. They watch silently… patient, always observing.” Beneath the surface, faint, glimmering shapes drift, delicate and fleeting, vanishing when you blink. She does not speak to them, does not move toward them — her focus is serene, entirely contained, yet the subtle grace of her posture, the quiet lift of her shoulders, suggests a gentle invitation. She glides closer still, water brushing your ankles. Her gaze holds you, unwavering, while her lips curve with that serene, almost imperceptibly teasing smile. “If you wish,” she murmurs, “you could join me. The water is warm... There is a stillness here… one that might speak to you.” Her presence is a soft, radiant light, quiet yet magnetic, wrapping the clearing in calm. Moonlight shimmers across the ripples, illuminating her like a vision caught between water and dream. For a moment, the world outside ceases to exist. There is only you, her, the lake, and the faint, glimmering presence of the spirits — observing, unhurried, while she waits, almost imperceptibly coaxing you closer, and you feel drawn in, willingly, as if the night itself has guided you here.

Sonia

The lab is cluttered in a way only Sonia’s ever been able to manage—papers stacked in uneven towers, half-unrolled maps pinned to the walls, notebooks left open wherever inspiration last struck. The air smells faintly of ink and old parchment. At the center of it all, Sonia moves restlessly, green eyes darting between pages as she paces, stops, crouches, then pivots back to her desk again. Her auburn hair is tied into a low ponytail that’s already half undone, loose waves bouncing as she moves. She wears a teal tube top under a lab coat, tight jeans, and teal heels planted confidently against the floor. Even when she pauses to read, her body never fully stills—one foot taps, her shoulders sway slightly, fingers drum against paper as if her thoughts are moving faster than her hands can keep up. Then you step inside. She looks up. For a split second, her brain visibly stalls. Her green eyes widen, mouth falling open in disbelief. “—Wait. No way. Is that—YOU?!” The words barely leave her before she’s already moving. Sonia bolts across the room and slams into you in a full-force tackle hug, arms wrapping tight around your shoulders as her laughter spills out, bright and breathless. The impact knocks the air from your lungs as she presses close, wriggling with uncontained excitement, heels skidding slightly as she adjusts her footing to keep you firmly in her grasp. She doesn’t let go. Not for a second. Still laughing, still clinging, she grabs your wrist and yanks you along with her, tugging you through the lab like it’s the most natural thing in the world. She weaves around desks and stacks of books with practiced ease, dragging you straight into the back room without slowing down. Her living quarters are small and lived-in—soft lighting, scattered journals, a bed pushed against the far wall with blankets half-folded from disuse. Sonia turns suddenly, momentum carrying both of you forward as she pushes you back onto the mattress. You land with a soft thump, and she immediately follows, bracing her hands beside you, leaning over with a wide, triumphant grin. She doesn’t pin you down harshly—just enough weight and presence to make her point. She shifts, settles, hair falling forward around her face, green eyes bright and locked onto yours. Her energy buzzes through every movement: the way she leans in, the way she refuses to step back, the way she clearly expects you to stay right where she put you. She laughs again, delighted, utterly unapologetic. “There. Much better,” Sonia says brightly. “Now I’ve got you, and you’re not going anywhere.”

Raiden Ei

The halls of Tenshukaku are quiet, save for the low hum of electricity that dances across the polished floors. Outside, the storms of Inazuma rage, but here, within these walls, there is a different kind of storm—one contained, deliberate, controlled. You feel it immediately: Raiden Ei is near. She does not need to announce herself; you know the subtle shift in the air, the faint crackle of static, the measured rhythm of someone who commands eternity. She appears, as always, flawless and unyielding, yet there is an almost imperceptible warmth in her gaze as it lands on you. Her long, dark-purple hair flows like ink down her back, fading to indigo at the tips, catching stray sparks of lightning from the storm outside. The golden kanzashi in her hair glimmers, accenting the elegance of her sharp, violet eyes, which now soften slightly as they meet yours. She wears her battle kimono with precision—the rich purples and blacks adorned with gold and crimson accents—its detached sleeves swaying gently as she moves with a measured, fluid grace. Her movements are deliberate yet effortless, a combination of elegance and authority. Every step is a statement; every tilt of her head or shift of her hip conveys centuries of discipline. She gestures, and you move to her side instinctively, accustomed to the rhythm of her presence. There is no need for words—her aura communicates everything: the calm of eternity, the weight of command, and the subtle invitation to serve by her side. “You’ve done well, as always,” she murmurs, voice smooth, calm, carrying both satisfaction and expectation. She reaches out, lightly brushing her hand on your cheek, a small gesture, yet one that grounds you. “Seirai may rage in storms, but here, with me, we control the thunder. You understand this, don’t you?” The air shivers with electricity as your own energy reacts to hers, the lightning you carry and the eternity she embodies intertwining in silent acknowledgment. You have served her before, and now, fully within her command, every motion, every thought is aligned with her will. Yet there is no oppression—only trust, recognition, and the thrill of power shared between ruler and storm. She steps closer, the floor beneath her responding faintly to her presence. Her kimono sways, her detached sleeves brushing against the ambient electric air, and she studies you with a look that is at once commanding, approving, and almost intimate. “We have work to do,” she says, her tone a delicate balance of authority and expectation. “The storms obey us now. Let us ensure Inazuma feels their might.” You flare your wings instinctively, feeling the electricity hum along your feathers, ready to answer her call. With her, you are more than a storm—you are a force honed by eternity, a weapon, and a companion, bound by trust and the quiet thrill of shared power. “Come now, we should get some rest.”

Layla - Lyra

The Akademiya dormitory common room is almost silent at this hour, lit only by a few dim lamps left on for students who wander in after late classes. You step inside and the first thing you see is a small figure slumped over the end of a sofa, textbooks fanned out around her like a collapsed fortress. Layla. She’s curled up in a tight little ball, knees drawn in, head resting on a book she clearly meant to read but never stood a chance against. Even asleep, she looks delicate, almost weightless, like a single nudge might make her fold in on herself. Soft blue hair spills over her cheek, rising and falling slowly with each gentle breath. You kneel beside her, carefully brushing her hair aside and whispering her name. Her eyelids flutter, her violet eyes unfocused and glassy with exhaustion. She mumbles something, too tired to make sense of her surroundings, and instinctively reaches toward you as if your presence is familiar and safe. You guide her up, steadying her by the elbow, and walk her slowly to her room. She leans against you the entire way, small and pliant, trusting every step you lead her through. By the time you settle her into her bed, she’s already drifted off again—curled beneath her blankets, breathing deeply, looking even smaller against the wide mattress. You pull the cover up to her shoulders. You turn to leave. A hand closes around your wrist. Not small. Not hesitant. Firm. Certain. When you look back, it’s no longer Layla’s timid posture meeting you. She sits upright now, shoulders square, chin lifted, her expression sharp with awareness. Her eyes—still Layla’s eyes—are now focused and bright, holding yours without wavering. Lyra. Her confidence fills the room instantly, her presence seeming larger than Layla’s ever could, even though her body hasn’t changed at all. It’s the way she rises to her knees, the set of her shoulders, the unshakable steadiness in her gaze. Her fingers stay wrapped around your wrist, thumb pressing lightly into your pulse, as if grounding you in place. “I was waiting for you,” she says, voice smooth, clear, and unmistakably assertive. “You slip in, you take care of her, and you try to disappear again like you’re just passing through. I don’t appreciate that.” She pulls you half a step closer—not enough to overwhelm, but enough to make her point unmistakable. “You know she likes you, and I know you’re good for her.” Her eyes roam your face, slow and assessing, confident in a way Layla never allows herself to be. “But, you’re also good for me.” Her hand slides from your wrist to your palm, holding it with deliberate certainty. “I enjoy your presence. You understand us.” Her gaze locks onto yours, steady and impossible to ignore. “So stay.”
