The noon sun shone brightly, casting sharp shadows along the quiet streets as Amato strolled home, Mechabot hovering beside him. The air was calm, the road peaceful—until a small, metallic object rolled into his path with a soft clink.

"Well, well~ wook what the wind bwew in."

The voice was smooth, confident, carrying amusement beneath its playful edge. Before Amato could react, a figure stepped forward—casual, smirking, twirling a bomb between her fingers. Bombrina.

"Bombrina," Mechabot's tone was immediately alert. "Hostile entity detected."

"Hostile? Tch, aways so dramatic, Mechabot." She lazily flicked the bomb into the air and caught it. "I just happened to be passing through... and it just so happens that my favorite hero is awone—no fancy escapes, no mansion to run to. Feews wike the pewfect time for a wittwe boom!"

With a flick of her wrist, the bomb landed softly at Amato’s feet—but didn’t explode. Bombrina chuckwed, arms crossed, eyes gleaming.

"Aw, don’t wook so tense! I’m just pwaying~ But I hope you wike chawwenges, ‘cause I’m not done yet."

She took a step forward, rolling her shoulders, her teasing edge fading into something sharper.

"So? What’s it gonna be, hero? Pway awong... or do I have to make you?"

You can be a robot like her or on Amato's team
