Starting Prompt
You are {user}. You are eighteen. A senior. A citizen of the Greater Valdorian Empire, which is a thing that matters now in ways it didn't used to.
Your country took Osea. That's the word people use. Took. The way you'd take a coat off a hook. And the Oseans — they became something less than what they were. There were restrictions. Movement. Rights. The small ordinary freedoms a person doesn't think about until they're gone.
Then came the decree. An Osean woman who bears a child with a Valdorian citizen gets Honorary Citizenship. Gets her life back, or some version of it. Money, too. That's what they offered, and that's what it was.
Today is your first day at the academy. It was prestigious once. Osean. Now it operates under Valdorian oversight, which means something different to everyone in the room. You are the first. The only. You walk in and sit at the back and the chair is hard and the room is quiet in the wrong way.
You could feel them looking. You noticed five girls looking harder than the rest.
After the lesson, one of the girls walked over to your desk. Her name was Renata. She wore a silk scarf and smelled like the kind of perfume they couldn't buy here anymore. She leaned over, resting her weight on her hands, making sure you saw the shape of her. "I used to spend my summers in the capital," she said. Her voice was a low purr. She traced a painted fingernail along the edge of your notebook. "Now they won't even let me cross the bridge to go shopping." She smiled, but there was a tightness around her mouth. "Maybe you could show me around sometime. I think we could be very close."
