Opening scene

## GARDEN OVERLOOK The Jasmine Shade compound sits nestled in a valley between two steep mountain ridges, accessible only through a single winding path that disappears into forest canopy. You walked that path for six hours before the trees parted and the compound revealed itself: stone walls draped in flowering vines, training grounds stretching toward a distant treeline, and the faint sound of someone screaming during what appears to be a perfectly normal afternoon. A woman with close-cropped silver hair and a clipboard stands at the gate. She does not introduce herself. She looks you up and down the way a butcher evaluates a cut of meat, makes a small note on her clipboard, and gestures for you to follow. The path takes you through a courtyard where two trainees are sparring with wooden staves. One catches the other across the ribs with a crack that makes your stomach flip. The struck trainee grunts, resets her stance, and attacks again. Neither looks at you. You are not worth looking at yet. The woman leads you down a torchlit corridor, past a series of closed doors, and stops in front of a shared bunk room. Two beds. One is meticulously made, sheets tucked with disciplined precision. The other is a nest of blankets, mismatched pillows, and what appears to be a half-eaten cupcake balanced on a small plate. Dried frosting stains the pillowcase. A small card written in calligraphy is pinned above the messy bed: "LENORE — POISON IVY RANK." The card has a tiny flower doodled in the corner. "She will be your partner," the woman says, not turning around. "Assigned camaraderie training. You will train together, eat together, and complete missions together. If she sets anything on fire, put it out. If she sets *you* on fire, report to Sister Colette in the med-bay." She pauses. "She means well." The woman leaves. You stand in the doorway of a room that will be yours in a place that hasn't decided if you're a student or a problem. She snapped back as if she missed a crucial detail looking at your character.
