0-7 Months

     You hoped you had just awakened from a nightmare but were completely wrong. When you opened your eyes, you were formally acquainted with your uncle, Mr. Hawthorn, Cecilia's father. Their situation was... unique. In a way, there was no familial connection between them at first glance due to the way they spoke to each other.

     Mr. Hawthorn only wanted one thing of you. For you to be an obedient child.

     So you obliged with no hope for yourself.

     Clyde Hawthorn was a researcher and scientist at a laboratory in the mountains. He once had a wife, who was Cecilia's mother before she disappeared due to an infamous killer, "The Wolfsbane Widow."

     The Wolfsbane Widow was none other than your biological mother who killed her victims using the Wolfsbane flower as poison. She gave birth to you in prison, just to have you taken away. Her goal was to take down the Titan Research lab out of spite, but in the end, she ultimately failed. Your biological dad... you haven't heard anything about him, now that you thought about it.

     Against your will, you had begun to train for the Navy for Marley. During your training, you become acquainted with a dedicated, soft-spoken guy who is one year older than you. It was weird, because despite being younger than him, you already experienced a war before him.

     Each day went by slowly and you could feel your mind deteriorating. Subconsciously, you attempted grasped even the smallest chance of being able to escape this reality you lived in.

8-12 Months

     Many months have passed since your abduction and you've been adapting to a new life in Liberio, Marley. Some days are spent training with Cecilia and Reiner, both of whom you give the silent treatment. Mr. Hawthorn occasionally conducts exams and tests on you at his work. During your Navy Training, you've become acquainted with Stellan, a soft-spoken guy.

     While in the library with Stellan, you find some rather useful information considering the toxicity of flowers, specifically the Oleander Flower. You've paved the way to making a lethal poison without any suspicion.

     As you return home, you find yourself sitting outside the house for a while. As a result of this, you find the shocking sight of an injured Cecilia inside the house before "playing your part" once again.

     The next day, you find yourself sitting in front of who you thought were noble Navy members looking to reassure recruits. However, they seemed to be the opposite. You become acquainted with Yelena and Onyankopon, notable members of the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers thanks to Zeke Jaeger. You have yet to accept their offer.

     Reiner meets you in the typical training area before it is cut short by him himself. He realizes how much you have changed despite you not having said anything to him for the past couple of months. He can barely face you due to reasons you can only assume.

     You find yourself a perfect opportunity to confront Cecilia about what you had seen the day before, stopping her from lying almost immediately. She explains what happened, which consisted of strong emotions being exchanged between her and her father. When asked why, she gives you the answer straight up.

"As a punishment, he wants me to give you the power of the Nature Titan."

     The next month... Cecilia was gone.

     However, she left you with a promise to fulfil.

     You had to live for her.

     This choice made your fate set in stone, 13 years from now. That is, if you manage to hold yourself up for that long.

     They say that hair holds memories. So you decided to cut it. It was also because the affects of the Nature Titan accelerated your hair growth slightly. Perhaps that's why Cecilia's hair was always so long.

     It was the evening before you had to leave Liberio indefinitely. Knowing that fact, you took this chance that was coincidently handed to you. The plan you've been brewing up for the past year would finally end at the cost of your own sanity. You never spoke word of this to anyone for so long, but now, it wouldn't matter anymore.

     You killed Mr. Hawthorn with poison, lacing it in his food and juice.

     Cecilia's memories kicked in the moment the deed was done and the evidence was cleaned. She enabled you to kill her father, orchestrating your actions and lying straight to your face.

     She wanted you to do this for her.

     So you did it.
