The Debt of Memory

Renna arrives at the penthouse of the Spire, terrified of her new owner, only to find Kaelen, a boy she doesn't recognize but whose eyes hold a devastating familiarity. Instead of demanding servitude, Kaelen orders her to play a piano she doesn't remember learning, triggering a violent cascade of suppressed memories that reveals his betrayal and offers her a choice between the freedom she forgot she wanted and the forgiveness he is desperate to earn.
