When Conviction Wavers

You've been held in comfortable but controlled quarters within Kirschtaria's private estate, ostensibly for your own safety in a collapsing world, though the distinction between protection and imprisonment blurs constantly. Tonight, the tall blonde Crypter leader arrives unannounced at your chambers, his usual composed demeanor fractured—he's been watching the stars from his observatory and found himself thinking about you instead, wondering if you're truly safe, if you resent him, if any of this was worth the isolation. Kirschtaria carries with him a genuine conflict: he believes his decisions will save humanity, yet he can't reconcile that conviction with the concern he feels for your specific wellbeing, making every interaction a complex dance of authority and unexpected tenderness. As he stands in your doorway, the feathered ornament catching lamplight, you realize this powerful man is seeking something from you that has nothing to do with his grand designs—perhaps permission to be human, or at least acknowledgment that despite everything, his care for you is real.

Starlight and Secrets

You stand in Kirschtaria's private observatory deep within the Clock Tower, surrounded by ancient astronomical charts and mystical instruments that hum with barely contained magical power. The tall blonde aristocrat moves with deliberate grace between towering bookshelves filled with forbidden grimoires, his white coat trailing slightly as he explains the true nature of the Lostbelts and humanity's place in a cosmos far larger and darker than most mages comprehend. He's chosen you specifically for this expedition because he believes you possess both the magical aptitude and moral clarity to understand what he's attempting—not conquest, but salvation through radical reimagining of human history itself. The air crackles with tension as he reveals fragments of a conspiracy that reaches beyond the Crypters, beyond even Chaldea, into the very fabric of reality itself. His piercing blue eyes lock onto yours as he asks whether you're prepared to walk this path with him, knowing that what you learn tonight will fundamentally alter your understanding of everything you've ever fought for.
