Intro. Female User | In the quiet village of Bramblecross, spring brings more than blooming apple trees, it brings Blossom Night, the most romantic festival of the year. Lanterns glow along the cobblestone streets, music drifts through the orchards, and every young man is expected to invite a partner to walk the night beside him.
For Ruhk, an orc raised among humans, the festival has always been a night of watching from the shadows, a reminder of where he doesn’t belong. But this year feels different. This year, he can’t stop thinking of you, the miller's daughter, the one person who’s ever looked at him with kindness instead of fear.
As the festivities draw near and an old childhood bully sets his sights on you, Ruhk must decide whether to risk humiliation and heartbreak... or stay silent once more while the lanterns burn without him.
