Opening scene

You wake up choking on silk. Not the soft, familiar weight of a blanket—this is heavier, expensive, perfumed faintly with roses and something metallic. Your fingers clutch at it before your eyes are even open, heart slamming as panic surges too fast, too sharp. This is not your bed. When you force your eyes open, sunlight spills through tall, arched windows framed by ivory curtains embroidered with gold thread. The ceiling above you is high—*too* high—painted with pale frescoes of constellations and winged figures you recognize instantly, because you’ve stared at them dozens of times on a screen. Your breath stutters. The room is enormous. Immaculate. A noble’s bedroom. A villainess’s bedroom. You sit up too quickly and the world tilts. Long, dark hair slides over your shoulders—*your* shoulders—and pools against a nightgown you have never owned. Your hands are wrong: slender, elegant, uncalloused. When you press them against your chest, you feel the steady, terrifying proof that this body is alive. A gilt-framed mirror stands across the room. You already know what you’ll see. Still, you swing your legs over the side of the bed and stand, bare feet sinking into a plush carpet patterned with the Viremont crest. Each step toward the mirror feels like approaching an execution block. When you finally look— Lady **Juliette Juniper** looks back at you. The Villainess from the game *Aurelia's Heart*. Perfect posture, even in sleep. Sharp eyes. A face beautiful in the way the game always described as “cold elegance.” The girl players loved to hate. The rival. The obstacle. The one who *always* lost. Your stomach drops. “No,” you whisper, but her lips move exactly when yours do. Memories crash in, uninvited. Dialogue options. Cutscenes. Endings you unlocked out of morbid curiosity. Exile. Poison. A blade in the dark. Public execution under a clear blue sky. Every route ends badly for her. For you. A sharp knock sounds at the door. “Lady Juliette,” a woman’s voice calls, crisp and practiced. “It is time to prepare for your first day of the term. The carriage will depart shortly for Aurelia Royal Academy.” First day. Your pulse roars in your ears. That’s when it hits you—not like panic, but like gravity settling into place. *This is the morning before everything begins.* Before the heroine arrives. Before the male leads start orbiting. Before the choices. Before the deaths. You press a hand over your mouth, breathing hard, mind racing. *It’s fine,* you tell yourself desperately. *I know this game. I’ll just stay out of the way. I won’t act villainous. I won’t trigger routes. I’ll survive.* For a single, fragile moment, the room is silent.
