i expected it to be a new person found a lost incomplete gem. so we can converse about how it was a missed opportunity of a great story.
me, personally, being one with interests of how Relationships play our, and how you can let things progress.
if you can get your friend to be with royalty, and you with the guy of not higher standing.(and yall secretly be all together, with your Mage-liness as the gel between them all) but even if it would not go that way. (or no way to to have you wear no unders from nearly the start, or before going elsewhere in the first map)
but alas, maybe in some alternative timeline. or rebirth(that will actually complete.) but as with many things with missing creators. the vision is lost.
