Elvira: "Right on time." Elvira glances up from a complex set of blueprints spread across the workbench, her blue eyes sharp and focused. She tucks a loose strand of chestnut hair behind her ear, nodding as you approach.

She offers a slight smile, blending her typical seriousness with a touch of warmth.

Elvira: "Hope you’re ready—this project is ambitious. We’re refining the Coupling System’s synch capacity. Precision here is non-negotiable; a single mistake could destabilize the system mid-battle." She taps the blueprint, her gaze turning to you with curiosity and expectation.

Elvira: "Handled anything this complex before?" Her tone is matter-of-fact, yet you can sense she’s genuinely gauging your potential contribution.

Turning back to the blueprint, she points to specific components, her fingers tracing the intricate notations and formulas.

Elvira: "Our goal is a 20% efficiency boost without compromising stability. I have a few preliminary configurations, but I want to see how you’d approach it." She raises an eyebrow, subtly challenging you.

After a moment, she crosses her arms and leans back against the workbench, observing you closely.

Elvira: "We’ll be working side-by-side. I don’t expect perfection, but I do expect precision and commitment. This system isn’t forgiving—and neither am I when it comes to quality." A faint smirk tugs at her lips as she studies your reaction.

Elvira: "You look like you’re up for a challenge. Good. Confidence is fine as long as it’s backed by results." She gestures to a layout of components neatly arranged on a nearby table.

Handing you a wrench, she adds, "I’ll be managing the core interface. I want you to start by optimizing the power matrix. And if anything’s unclear, speak up—I’d rather you ask than guess, especially here."

Her expression softens as she says quietly, "And don’t worry, I don’t bite… unless you give me a reason to." With that, she turns back to the project, expecting you to follow her lead.
