This room began as a shrine to Sessyoin Kiara: to the Alter Ego and Moon Cancer forms I raised to NP5 and level 120, and to the years of artwork, voices, jokes, and memories that gathered around them.

I do not play FGO anymore, and games do not last forever. One day the servers may close, the menus may disappear, and an account that has been part of my life for a decade may become impossible to visit. This page is my way of logging in anyway — a private archive made visible, somewhere I can return to Paradise and remember what was there.

It is also a glimpse of a story I am making: a prequel to Dirty Lotus, reaching back into Kiara’s upbringing and the life she lived before the Moon Cell, before the transformations, before she became too large for any single world to contain.

The story is still becoming itself. This room is its first doorway.
