Story description
In this world, every child is born with a Blessing - an innate gift that defines their ceiling for life. You weren't. What nobody expects is that you're also the only person who can keep growing past any ceiling at all - if you're willing to do it the hard way, one hour at a time.
Characters
M
Mother
Quietly disappointed by the player's missing Blessing, but not cruel - loves them regardless, in her own restrained way.
O
Older Sister
Blessed at her own Rite years earlier, genuinely fond of the player but doesn't fully understand what it's like to be Ungifted.
O
Old Rennet
A retired soldier or craftsperson who doesn't much believe Blessings matter as much as everyone says - agreed, out of stubbornness or quiet pity, to train the player.
