Chapter 1: Sins of the Serpent

"Every sin I commit is a mark of my power, a reminder that mercy is for the weak. In the end, only the serpent survives."

— Evelyn Vespera
• Knit Our Bones Together - On a quiet night at the Snake Pit, Absinthe, lost in her work, is surprised when Evelyn, a former acquaintance, enters seeking brandy. The encounter reveals their starkly different lives: Evelyn, now a single mother, and Absinthe, hardened and disillusioned. Despite their bitter past, Evelyn decides to join Team Rocket, lured by its resources. Absinthe agrees to help her, leading to a somber toast to persistence and seizing opportunities.
