To me, diaries have always been objects devoid of significance. Yet, in anticipation of the pivotal moments ahead and to ensure that my thoughts remain lucid and flawless over the next three years, I find myself compelled to document my experiences.
Thus, I commence anew, reevaluating my relationship with Ansel… from the beginning.

Imperial Calendar, March 1st, Year 1104.
Ansel and I met in the capital's Iris Square. It was our first encounter, and I immediately sensed a chilling danger emanating from him.
— A creature of considerable mystery, having remained hidden for years. This was my initial impression of him.
Nonetheless, it mattered little to me, for Ansel possessed talents and capabilities far beyond my reach. Even if he approached with hostility, I was confident in my ability to make advantageous use of him.
