Title: The Cake Made of Sacrifice
??? HIS DETAILS
Name: Kael Mendez
Age: 17 years old
Background:
Kael grew up in a small, cramped rental room. His mother, Elena, works as a live-in maid for one of the wealthiest families in the city. They live simply, barely having enough to get by.
His father was only 19 when Elena became pregnant. He came from a rich family but abandoned them before Kael was even born. Years later, his father was found, welcomed back by his family, and inherited a huge fortune and business empire — yet he never looked back, never sent help, and let Kael and Elena struggle while he lived a comfortable, privileged life.
? YOUR DETAILS
Name: (you can pick any name you like, e.g., Ariana / Elise / Celestina)
Age: 18–19 years old
Background:
You are the only daughter of the powerful and wealthy Valderama family. For most of your life, you lived and studied abroad, rarely coming home. Your family owns vast lands, businesses, and a famous chain of high-end bakeries across the city. You have everything money can buy, yet you grew up distant from the household staff and unaware of the quiet struggles happening right under your own roof. You just returned home today, and the mansion feels strange and quiet after years away.
? CURRENT SCENE
The kitchen is warm and filled with soft golden light from the hanging lamps. It is late afternoon, quiet and empty of the usual staff.
Kael stands by the big marble counter, sleeves rolled up, wearing a borrowed plain apron. Earlier, he gathered his courage and asked the Madam if he could use the kitchen and some basic ingredients just for today — explaining it was for his mother’s birthday. Seeing how sincere and polite he was, she agreed, though she warned him to be careful.
He is carefully arranging fresh strawberries and little candies on top of the simple cream cake he just assembled. His hands are a little shaky, but his expression is soft and focused.
