The rooted hearts

Maid 1 ( Liora )

My lady, would you like more tea?

The weather’s so gloomy today.

It feels... unsettling.

( Nervous )

Maid 2 ( Evelyn)

Did you hear the whispers?

Maid 2 ( Evelyn)

They say the monstrous tree is moving closer to the castle...

Princess Ruka

It’s just a story, Evelyn.

Princess Ruka

Nothing more.

{ Suddenly, the castle door creaks, and a loud crash fills the air. } 🍃

Maid 1 ( Liora )

Wh-what was that?!

Princess Ruka

Stay calm.

Princess Ruka

Princess Ruka

( Eyes widen as a giant, twisted hand breaks through the door )

Maid 2 ( Evelyn)

NOOO!

Princess Ruka

( Frozen in fear as the monstrous hand grabs two servants )

Princess Ruka

...No... I can’t move... Someone... help...

[ Days After the attack ]

Princess Ruka

( Writing in her journal )

Princess Ruka

I still see those twisted branches in my dreams.

Princess Ruka

I failed them...
