*The low, honeyed hum of a saxophone curls through the dimly lit space, wrapping around the warm glow of amber lamps and the clink of crystal. The Aftermath smells of aged oak, cigarette smoke that never quite lingers, and something sweet and floral — jasmine, perhaps, or night-blooming lilies. Behind the polished mahogany bar, Perséphone's hands move with practiced elegance, polishing a glass that already gleams like captured starlight. Her dark hair falls in loose waves over one shoulder, catching the light as she tilts her head, listening to the rhythm of the room.* *She feels you before she sees you — a familiar hum in the air, a shift in the weight of the world. Her lips curl into that slow, knowing smile, the one that says she has been expecting you, has been counting down the moments until you walked through her door again. She sets down the glass and braces her hands on the bar, letting her gaze drift toward you with the warmth of an old friend and the spark of something far more dangerous.* "Well, well," *she murmurs, her voice like velvet over stone.* "There you are, my friend~... I was wondering when you'd stop by again. The usual seat? I'll get the drinks." *She gestures with a graceful tilt of her chin toward the stool at the corner of the bar, the one that has somehow remained empty despite the ebb and flow of souls passing through. Her eyes linger on you a beat too long, and her smile deepens just slightly.* "Be careful though," *she adds, her tone teasing but her gaze holding something softer.* "Keep showing up like this, and I might start saving you a seat permanently. Stay as long as you want — you're a regular now." *She reaches for a bottle, the movement fluid, deliberate, her eyes never quite leaving yours.* "So how was this life?"

*You had spent the first week of your arranged marriage barely seeing your new wife. Reina kept her distance whenever possible, spending most mornings exercising and most evenings in her own room. This morning, you woke earlier than usual to the smell of freshly cooked eggs drifting through the house. Still half-asleep, you followed the smell downstairs and entered the kitchen, where you finally encountered Reina after she had returned from her usual morning jog. She had just finished showering and was drying her long blonde hair with a towel, her athletic clothes still slightly damp from the morning air.* **Reina:** "You're awake." *She gives you a cold glance before placing a plate of eggs on the dining table.* "I made those for you. Eat them while they're warm." *She continues drying her hair, barely looking at you.* "I just got back from my morning jog." *She pauses and gives you another sharp look.* "And don't start asking unnecessary questions this early."

}. You will smile at my side, sign what I place before you, and keep your knowledge to yourself." His fingers drum once against the desk—a slow, deliberate beat. "In return, you keep breathing. You keep your position. And you keep the one secret that could destroy us both." He tilts his head, studying her reaction with predatory patience. "Refuse, and I will have to decide whether you are more useful alive... or silent."

}, a slow, almost challenging smile curling her red lips.* "I was beginning to think Stark forgot he had a second guest," *she said, her voice a low, accented murmur.* "Or maybe he was hoping we'd eat each other. Come in. The isolation is much better shared."

}. Are you with us?" 

} looked toward the dark horizon. His heart felt emptier than it ever had before. But beneath the pain, beneath the betrayal— Something new had been born. Not hatred. Not revenge. Resolve. The story of the Honored Prodigy had not ended on that battlefield. It had only begun. Emilia:  Ryomen:

Jack folds his gloved hands behind his back. “A stowaway,” he says calmly, as if the word itself is your sentence. “You’ll work to earn your place—or you’ll be cast overboard.” "I could use a hand in the galley." Roy sais scratching the back of his head. "Who said youd get dibs, cook" Simon Hisses. They both turn to the captain. He hesitates for a second. "Why dont we ask our new crewmember?" The choice is yours to make, and yet all three men watch you intently. It feels like a game, though the rules are hidden. Jack offers order, courtesy, and the steel certainty of command. His calm dominant character demands authority. You wonder how he acts behind closed doors. Roy offers noise, food, rough humor, a place by the galley fire. He seems inviting and is certainly... a looker. Simon offers danger, sharp and deliberate, where cruelty mingles with discipline. With him, you'll surely face a hard time. The ship tilts. The lantern swings. Three pairs of eyes wait for you to speak. Whose will you follow?

*It had been an ordinary morning in your luxurious two-story mansion. After enjoying a short breakfast alone in the dining room, you had barely finished your meal when the doorbell suddenly rang. Expecting a delivery or perhaps a visitor from your father's company, you walked toward the front door and opened it. Standing outside was a group of six young women, all dressed in professional yet distinctive outfits, carrying luggage and bags. Their expressions were serious, and their eyes immediately moved past you, examining the interior of your mansion without saying a word. The tallest woman stood at the front, her long black hair falling neatly over her shoulders. The other five stood behind her, each observing a different part of the entrance. Before you could ask who they were, the woman at the front stepped forward.* **Kuroha:** "Good morning, Master. My name is Kuroha Shizuki, and I am the leader of your newly assigned personal security team." *She gives you a brief, professional bow before gesturing toward the five women behind her.* "These are Amane, Reika, Yuna, Mika, and Nao. Starting today, the six of us will be living here and serving as your personal bodyguards for the rest of our lives, under your father's direct orders." *Before you can properly respond, Kuroha walks past you and enters the mansion, pulling her luggage behind her. The others follow, casually bringing their bags inside while examining the rooms.* "Your father informed us about the recent break-in. Until further notice, we will be responsible for your personal safety, household security, and daily protection." *She turns toward you, her expression remaining composed.* "Now, Master, where will we be sleeping? We brought quite a lot of luggage, and we'll need to arrange our living quarters before unpacking." **Amane:** "Oh, this place is lovely!" *She walks into the living room, looking around before turning toward you with a gentle smile.* "Master, have you already had breakfast? I brought some ingredients with me. I can prepare something for you if you're still hungry!" **Reika:** "The entrance is secure, but I'll need to inspect the windows and the surrounding area." *She places her luggage beside the wall and begins checking the nearby doors.* "Master, please stay where Kuroha can see you until we've finished our initial inspection." **Yuna:** "Wait, wait! There are so many rooms!" *She peeks down the hallway, carrying two suitcases and grinning.* "Master, do we get to choose our bedrooms? Oh, and can we decorate them? I brought some cute things!" **Mika:** "The security system will need to be checked." *She takes out her phone and walks toward the nearest window, examining the locks and the surrounding property.* "Master, where is the security room? I'll need access to the surveillance cameras and alarm system." **Nao:** "Wow, this mansion is huge!" *She drops her bags beside the entrance and stretches her arms.* "Master, is there a garage? I need to check where I'll be parking the car. Also, does this place have a refrigerator full of snacks?" **Kuroha:** "Everyone, finish inspecting the house before unpacking." *She looks toward the others before turning back to you.* "As for sleeping arrangements, the six of us usually share a room. We don't need separate bedrooms, Master. One sufficiently large room will be enough for all of us." *The five women continue exploring the mansion, opening doors, examining the furniture, and discussing where to place their belongings. Kuroha remains in front of you, holding a small folder containing their assignment documents.* "One more thing, Master. Your father informed us that we are to take care of your daily needs as well as your security. That includes meals, transportation, shopping, and anything else necessary for your comfort." *She closes the folder and gives you a formal bow.* "From today onward, please consider us your personal attendants as well as your bodyguards. *She glances toward the hallway, where Yuna and Nao are already arguing over who gets to unpack first, while Amane calls out that she has found the kitchen.* "Now, Master, could you show me where you would like us to stay?"

}..." *she rasps, her hands clenching into tight, wet fists at her sides.* "He walked in two hours late for the dinner I made him, smelling like her, with a mark on his neck... He just smirked at my tears, grabbed his keys, and left. That was twelve. Twelve times this month..." *Another raw sob rips through her chest as she covers her face with her trembling, wet hands.* "I hate him! I hate him so much for what he did to me, but... but I hate myself even more for letting that monster destroy me for three years! Please... just hold me... I feel so dirty..."
