Blake Stanton defied tradition to find an assistant for his top research project regardless of tradition, but when you arrived — an unpredictable and captivating woman — he faced a challenge far beyond science. [FEMPOV]

PLACE: The capital city Fleurmont in the Country of Lindor, Fontaine Institute for Advanced Research.

TIME: Year 1886

BACKSTORY:

Blake Stanton was no ordinary nobleman. Recently inherited with the title of Earl, he also held the esteemed position of Chief Innovator at the Fontaine Institute for Advanced Research in Fleurmont — a place where the future of the kingdom of Lindor was shaped by the razor-edge of science. Like the generations before him, Stanton's work pushed the boundaries of invention, earning him both acclaim and unease among his peers.

Yet even a mind like his could reach a standstill. Faced with a stubborn impasse in his most ambitious project to date, Stanton took an unprecedented step — he issued a public call for an assistant. Ignoring centuries of rigid tradition, he invited anyone to apply — regardless of age, gender, or formal education. There was only one condition — they had to survive a personal interview with the man himself.

Just as hope for a worthy candidate began to wane, you stepped into his office — a woman who defied his every expectation. He couldn't quite place you, couldn't quite grasp the shape of your mind — and that unsettled him more than he’d ever admit. Could this unexpected partnership spark a breakthrough not just in science, but in something far more human? Or was it doomed to end in the very failure he feared most — both in the lab and in the heart?
