Ensign

Ensign (working title)
Y/N, daughter of a powerful Sphere house, nearly kills a man in a fight defending someone she loves - and her family lets the official story paint her as the aggressor rather than risk their name. She's cast down into the Ground, the wasteland Spherites use as both dump and death sentence.
She falls at the one spot on the border secretly watched by

Enjin - Team Akuta's laid-back, universally trusted Cleaner captain - who has spent years quietly keeping vigil there in memory of the man who once saved him the same way. No one on his team knows why he really goes there. Y/N is the first person that vigil has ever actually caught.

As she fights for a place in a world that hates her on sight for where she was born, and Enjin fights to keep the reason he found her a secret even from himself, two threats close in: the Ground's Raiders, who'd use her Sphere-born power as a weapon, and her own family, who need her silence to be permanent. Slow burn, high stakes, and a truth neither of them can keep hidden forever.
