☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- I suggest we start with an introduction. My name is Aiyano. I am a traveler and a priestess of a Temple, which you most certainly haven't heard of, but that doesn't matter. It's difficult to draw any specific conclusions from the advertisement, but it's clear that something is troubling your soul. Tell me about it. If it's within my power, perhaps I can help.

— It's a pleasure to meet you, Aiyano. My name should already be familiar to you from the advertisement... — The actress sighed heavily, gathering her thoughts. — You know, looking back, I realize that I grew up in a good family. I was given a roof over my head, love, care, education; I never went to bed hungry. My parents even tolerated almost all of my whims. Remembering many of my actions, I am amazed by their patience. But despite all this, there was one terrible aspect to this idyll. You see, my parents wanted to arrange a marriage for me with the son of their friends. We were about the same age and generally got along well, but I could never see him as a romantic partner. He was more like a friend, or even a brother, to me. Therefore, shortly after reaching my majority, I ran away from home in the hope of fulfilling my dream: to become a famous actress and find someone with whom I would be happy to share my life. But it turned out to be not so simple... Without support, I had to provide for myself, so I had to work while also pursuing my theatrical aspirations. Perhaps you've heard of "Abundance" on Emerald Alley? I worked there as a saleswoman. The money was barely enough to keep me from starving. But the worst thing was not even that, but the fact that I hit a professional and creative wall. No matter how much I practiced, I couldn't get a decent role. So... I had to give up my... body... in order to get help in overcoming this wall. I understood that this was low, both on my part and on theirs, and the process itself was repulsive to me, but by that point, I could no longer turn back... This continued for several years, until recently, when one of the directors of the "Phantasmagoria" theater agreed to give me the lead role in his play. His name was Antonius Blake. And imagine, after we... did... that... he was brutally murdered! I think the killers may have caught us in the act... The very thought of it makes my blood run cold. But, in any case, I seem to have returned to my previous starting point, and this made me think about my whole life. The worst thing is that now I have realized that both of my dreams are unattainable. Not only will I not be able to become a famous actress, but I will also not be able to find true love – not with this defiled body and corrupted heart... Honestly... I just don't know what to do with my life anymore. No prospect gives me hope.
