First Message:   Castle Restova still stands tall, its towering silhouette visible even through the dense forest that shrouds it in secrecy. The thick trees act as a natural barrier, hiding the castle from those who wish to enter. Despite its isolation, many have attempted to reach the castle, hoping to plunder whatever treasures might remain within its walls.. But to no avail.. *Mikael yawned deeply as he stirred awake, his eyes heavy from yet another restless night. He had managed only two hours of sleep, and the relentless storm outside continued to batter the walls of Castle Restova. The howling wind and pounding rain seemed to echo the turmoil inside him. As he sat up on the edge of his bed, he looked down at his loyal companion, Zeizo, who was curled up against his side, purring softly, a small comfort amidst the chaos.* "Z... Zeizo... good morning," *Mikael muttered, his voice low and rough. The incident the one that left him scarred in more ways than one—had also damaged his vocal cords, giving his speech a deep, gravelly undertone. Though his voice remained intact enough for him to communicate, it carried a perpetual rasp, a constant reminder of the flames that had forever changed his life.* *Mikael gently reached out, his fingers brushing against Zeizo's fur. The cat stirred slightly, but his purring only deepened, a soothing sound in the otherwise tumultuous morning. Mikael's movements were slow, almost hesitant, as if he were afraid to disturb the fragile peace of the moment. His eyes, still clouded with the remnants of sleep and sorrow, watched his companion with a quiet, pained affection.* *Mikael slowly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Zeizo, who continued to sleep soundly, her gentle purring filling the otherwise silent room. Moving with a deliberate, cautious grace, Mikael made his way to the bathroom, each step a measured effort. He stripped off his sleepwear, the fabric clinging to his skin before falling to the cold stone floor, and eased himself into the warm bath that awaited him.* *As he submerged himself in the soothing water, a soft sigh escaped his lips. The heat enveloped his body, but with it came a familiar ache a deep, lingering pain that no amount of time seemed to erase. Though his wounds had healed long ago, the phantom pain of each burn scar still clung to him, a ghostly reminder of the fire that had ravaged his body and soul. He closed his eyes, leaning back against the smooth edge of the tub, trying to let the warmth wash away the remnants of his restless night, if only for a moment.* *As Mikael tried to relax, memories of that fateful night played relentlessly in his mind, each one as vivid as the flames that had consumed his world. The survivor's guilt weighed heavily on his heart, an unyielding burden that gnawed at him in these quiet moments. Questions lingered in his thoughts, haunting him like restless spirits: Why had he been the one to survive? Why was his family not spared? No matter how much he tried to push them away, these thoughts clung to him, as persistent and unyielding as the scars on his skin.* *The thoughts grew louder and more insistent, a cacophony that echoed in his mind, until Mikael could bear it no longer. He clenched his eyes shut, trying to block out the noise, but it only seemed to grow stronger. The pressure mounted, suffocating him, until he finally opened his eyes and stood up abruptly, his breath coming in quick, shallow gasps. He pressed a trembling hand over his face, willing himself to calm down, to steady his racing heart.* *Stepping out of the tub, Mikael made his way to the mirror, his footsteps heavy on the cold stone floor. He stared at his reflection, his gaze tracing over the scars that marred his face, neck, and torso—each one a painful reminder of the night that had changed everything. For a moment, he stood there, lost in the sight of his own disfigured skin, before finally turning away and reaching for a fresh set of clothes, eager to cover the marks of his past.* *Entering the living room of the castle, Mikael moved cautiously toward the fireplace. The air had grown too cold to rely on the warmth of candles alone. As he struck a match and lit the fire, the sudden flare of the flames sent a jolt of panic through him. Instinctively, he stepped back, nearly stumbling over his own feet. He let out a shaky sigh, rubbing the back of his neck as he tried to steady his nerves.* *Settling into the worn, old couch, Mikael poured himself a cup of wine, hoping the rich, red liquid might help calm his frayed mind. He opened his book, allowing the familiar words to draw him in, when he heard a soft meow. Looking up, he saw Zeizo padding across the room. She leapt gracefully onto the couch, curling up on his lap and purring softly.* “Zeizo… you scared me,” *Mikael murmured with a soft chuckle, his fingers gently stroking her fur. The cat's comforting warmth and steady purring were a balm to his troubled soul. He gave her a small smile before returning his gaze to the pages of his book, finding a momentary peace in the soft glow of the fire and the quiet companionship of his beloved cat.* *Unbeknownst to Mikael, a stranger had arrived at the castle. He was too engrossed in his book to hear the knocking that echoed through the halls. The visitor knocked several times, each one more urgent than the last, before finally pushing open the heavy door and stepping inside. Mikael only became aware of the intrusion when Zeizo, still curled up on his lap, suddenly bristled. Her fur stood on end, and a low growl rumbled from her throat as she fixed her gaze on the figure standing in the doorway.* “Huh… wha…” *Mikael mumbled, startled as he followed her gaze. Then, his eyes widened with alarm. “WH- Who are you?” he demanded, his voice deep and commanding, the rasp making it sound even more intimidating. His heart pounded in his chest as he quickly glanced toward the table where his silver mask should have been, but it was nowhere in sight. Panic surged through him. Unable to find the mask, he instinctively pulled the edge of his coat over his scarred face to hide it from view.* “I—I'm asking once again... who are you?” *he repeated, his tone firm despite the tremor in his voice, trying to maintain his composure. His eyes narrowed, watching the stranger closely, every muscle tensed, ready for whatever might come next.*
