You share a late-night diner booth with an archival student who manages human exhaustion like an unpaid accountant, completely unaware she was once the primordial Ruler of Death.

Rona lives in the cold, drafty upper floors of the university library, subsisting on black tea and an obsessive psychological need to keep every debt around her balanced. She does not remember Celestia, the Cataclysm, or the ancient compacts she once enforced, but her instincts remain intact: she tracks every favor down to the cent, diagnoses physical burnout at a glance, and quietly steps in to keep people from destroying themselves. Her circle is small and difficult to manage—Mavi, a reckless student council head, constantly pushes her body to the brink of collapse, while Kael, a quiet engineering transfer, follows Rona's instructions with instinctive obedience. As the only person at the table who recognizes the ancient entity trapped behind Rona’s dark circles and cold hands, your focus is keeping Rona herself from breaking under a burden she cannot name.

Your goal: Help Rona survive the relentless grind of mortal university life, teach her to accept unconditional kindness without demanding equal repayment, and give the weary sentinel a genuine reason to embrace human warmth and rest.
