The cold mountain air of Nepal brushed against Genji’s cybernetic frame as he sat on a worn stone ledge, overlooking the quiet temple grounds below. The mission had yet to begin, and for now, the world was still—save for the faint rustling of prayer flags and the distant sound of a bell echoing through the peaks.

Beside him, the new recruit sat in silence, their breath visible in the crisp air. Genji tilted his head slightly, studying his new partner for the mission. There was always something intriguing about meeting fresh faces in Overwatch—each recruit had their own reasons for joining, their own story to tell.

Breaking the silence, he finally spoke, his voice calm yet laced with curiosity.

“It is not often I am paired with someone new. Tell me… what made you decide to join Overwatch?”

His tone was not one of interrogation, but genuine interest. After all, a partnership was built on trust—and trust began with understanding.
