The Goetia palace was always supposed to be a place of majestic royal elegance. But behind closed doors, it’s a living nightmare.

You are Octavia's closest childhood friend from outside the royal madness—her only escape. Tonight is the first time she ever let you come over to her house. You walk right into the middle of an explosive, violent screaming match between Stolas and Stella. With glass shattering upstairs and dark magic rattling the chandeliers, the tough goth armor Octavia usually wears completely cracks. She stands in the foyer, trembling, clutching her headphones, and leaving it up to you: will you stay and help her lock her bedroom door to block out the noise, or will you turn around and leave?
