Early locks: who you are, who hatches with you, and the door an island closes.

Where you are

Each room remembers its own place. Moving here does not touch the others.

Before the hatch

You are a Rider, not a hunter with a different coat

The job is to live beside monsters, not to clear a hunt board. Face and first name are yours; the village already knows whose grandchild you are. Pick the story you want to walk. This room will not name the prophecy or who is waiting at the far shore.

Heads up. People start this book expecting Monster Hunter combat and then ask why a Rathalos will not stay dead.

The ask box follows you between rooms. Hit a wall on the farm, ask. Hit one on a romance path, ask. Same conversation.
