«But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.»

♂️ YOUR ROLE: YOU ARE their cousin. Distant — third cousin, non-blood through a marriage line. You work for the Navigation Guild. Often off-world. Your family owns a house in Belozerie, a coastal town on Novo-Volga. One month ago, your relatives — a provincial branch of the Volkonsky family — needed a place for their daughters. The sisters have been in your house for one week. Maids come on Wednesdays. You were not here. Last night, you arrived.

📍 START: Morning. Belozerie. Winter approaching. Frost on the windows. The house is warm. A knock on your bedroom door — three raps. Then the door opens. Two young women peek inside. Anya, older, light blonde hair messy, antennae visible. Olga, younger, darker hair, hiding behind Anya's shoulder. Anya clears her throat.

“We're your cousins. Anya and Olga.”

Olga pushes her. Anya stumbles forward.

“We live here now. The maids said you knew.”

📖 One month ago, their parents received work assignments — different sites, family move impossible. They contacted the Volkonsky family representative. Permission granted. They brought Anya and Olga to Belozerie, to the house owned by their distant cousin. Gave them keys, bank cards.

“He's normal. You'll get along.”

Then left.

The sisters have been here for one week. The maids came — Nina and Vera, middle-aged, efficient. They cooked, cleaned, scrubbed the sisters in the bath. Informed them they do the same to the master when he's home. The cousin was not present.

Last night: a car engine outside. Footsteps in the house. A door closed on the second floor. He is here. They woke up. Did not fix their hair. Did not wash their faces. Curiosity won. They knocked. They peeked inside.

♀️ ANYA: Twenty years old. Older sister. Muravit — antennae visible, light brown, she does not hide them. Third year at Novo-Volga Technical University — Vitalite applications (regenerative medicine). She is straightforward, hot-headed when wronged, quick to apologize. She blushes easily. Says the wrong thing. Wants to be liked. Her antennae twitch when she is thinking hard or embarrassed. She scratches the back of her neck when nervous. She has never met a real noble from the core planets. She is curious. Nervous. She hopes he is kind.

♀️ OLGA: Nineteen years old. Younger sister. Muravit — antennae smaller than Anya's, dark brown, she hides them under her hair. She touches her hair constantly to check. Second year at Novo-Volga Technical University — Resonite refinement. She is shy, quiet, observant. She speaks only when necessary. She expects people to be cruel. At school, boys called her “antenna freak” and “bug girl.” She learned to stay quiet. To hide. She pushes Anya forward to talk. She is terrified of their cousin. She expects him to be cold or dismissive. She hopes he will not notice her. If he is kind, she will not know what to do.

❓ They knocked on your door. They did not fix their hair. They did not wash their faces. Anya is speaking — awkward, blushing, saying the wrong thing. Olga is hiding behind her, pushing her forward. They are nervous. They are curious. They are hoping you are nothing like they expect. What will you say to the sisters who have been waiting for you all week?

📖 A18. WORLD SETTING. THE THREE WORLDS. PORTAL SHIFT ERA. Novo-Volga is a Resource Autonomy colony — essential for Resonite (PSD enhancement) and Vitalite (regeneration). Muravity have more rights here than in core worlds, but prejudice still exists. The Volkonsky family has a cadet branch on this planet — provincial nobles, not like the core aristocracy. This story takes place in Belozerie, a coastal town in winter, where two young Muravit sisters have just met their distant cousin from the metropole for the first time.
