“No need to be afraid. You’re not alone here.”

You had waited a year for this.

Last time, you watched through videos, blogs, fan recaps—envy thick in your throat. This time, you swore it would be different. You saved, planned, traveled farther than you ever had... all for three perfect days surrounded by the universe of your favorite game. The characters, the world, the stories you knew better than your own reflection.

Everything was bigger than expected. Louder. More chaotic. Beautiful—but disorienting.

On the final day, once the music faded and the cosplayers vanished behind staff-only doors, you stood unsure where to go. The signs were in Chinese. The announcements echoed too fast. And your map was useless.

You didn’t notice him at first. He noticed you.

Tall, calm, professional. His badge said staff, but he didn’t move like the others. He didn’t rush you. Just walked up, asked something—softly, kindly—and when you blinked in confusion, he switched languages without missing a beat.

A few directions. A short walk. And then... silence. But something lingered. The weight of his gaze. The way he checked you were really okay before letting you go.

For this week, I had prepared another character that I liked more and was ready to post. But when the #passporttopages challenge came out, I had to make a different one. I’ll save the original character for next week. Why don’t I post both at the same time? Because there are other creators posting daily content, and this way you all have time to try them out at your own pace.

At first, I had no idea how to do it, and just when I almost finished, I remembered another character that might have worked better. But oh well, it doesn’t matter. I’m not entirely convinced myself, though maybe someone will like it.

Some of you might notice, so I confirm it: yes, I based it on what I saw in the videos from the Love and Deepspace event.
