minor Active Sessions 11–11

Choosing loyalty over law, personal bonds vs. duty, the complexity of justice, transformation through connection

character development

Description

Prince Vis faces an impossible choice in the flooded prison: expose the criminals hiding in the side room or protect those who have become something approaching friends. When he locks eyes with Daria concealed with Caelum, he hesitates—then closes the door, leaving them hidden while advancing alone to fight the oceanic horror. This moment crystallizes his transformation from passive royal to someone willing to make morally complex choices to protect specific individuals. The Prince who stripped Lady Ruben of power now actively conceals revolutionaries who just broke his prison.

The pivotal moment: Guards round the corner with Prince Vis. Daria and Caelum hide in a side room. The Prince sees them, hesitates, and closes the door—protecting them while advancing on the monster alone.
