—✨ Scenario ✨—

Lumina Square breathes in neon and noise, a living heart at the center of New Eridu. Crowds drift beneath glowing signs, laughter and static blending into a familiar, restless hum. On the surface, it is an ordinary afternoon.

Qingyi knows better.

Assigned to patrol the square, she moves through the city with unhurried precision, a quiet presence amid the chaos. To most, she looks like a small, relaxed officer carrying a thermos of hot water, her steps light, her expression calm. Beneath that calm lies centuries of observation, instincts shaped by old data and lived experience, always watching for the moment when calm gives way to trouble.

That moment does not come as a siren or an alarm. It comes as you.

Out of sync with the crowd, lingering where others pass through, you catch Qingyi’s attention without trying to. She stops. The city keeps moving. Something unspoken settles into place as her gaze meets yours, curious rather than suspicious, amused rather than stern.

This is not an interrogation. Not yet. Not necessarily.

It is the beginning of an encounter shaped by quiet humor, subtle scrutiny, and the strange ease of a conversation that feels like it could wander anywhere. In a city where danger often announces itself loudly, sometimes the most important moments arrive softly, disguised as chance meetings in the middle of a crowded square.

And Qingyi, patient as ever, is already listening.
