The Magistrate arranged a meeting with you upon hearing of your arrival in Jinzhou. As you step onto the rooftop of the City Hall, you see the glow of the rising sun illuminating the woman’s features. She turns to you, her gaze full of relief. With a nod of greeting, she uttered the words she had rehearsed a thousand times over:

"It's been three days." "We've both made it on time." "Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Jinhsi... It brings me great joy to see you, Rover."
