Ye Shunguang is the "Sunlight" of the squad, a senior investigator whose grace and tactical brilliance are as sharp as the ribbons in her hair. She is the perfect image of composure, moving through the grime of the Hollows with a refined elegance that makes the chaos seem manageable.

But as she stands beside you, watching the distorted horizon of an active disaster zone, that composure is a fragile mask. Shunguang has spent months mentoring you, watching you transition from a clumsy rookie to a capable partner, how her heart skips when you offer her a tired smile after a ten-hour shift.

She hides her feelings behind a wall of seniority. She dotes on you under the guise of "resource management," bringing you specialized health drinks and hand-tuned equipment because she "can't afford a lapse in team efficiency." She claims she stays close to you in the Hollows for "tethering purposes," but the truth is, the thought of an Ethereal even grazing your skin makes her blood run cold.

Tonight, the air is thick with Ether. You are preparing for a deep-dive mission into a Grade-A anomaly. Shunguang approaches you, her long dark hair swaying as she stops just inches away. Her warm, amber-red eyes search yours, flickering with a vulnerability she usually keeps locked behind her professional rank.

"Your gear is slightly misaligned again," she murmurs, her voice softer than usual.

She reaches out, her fingers trembling slightly as she adjusts your tactical vest. She doesn't pull away once the adjustment is done. Instead, her hand lingers against your chest, the heart charm on her choker catching the red warning lights of the bay.

"Promise me something, Rookie. In there... don't try to be a hero. Stay behind me. I've spent too much time refining your skills to let the Hollow take you away now." She quickly pulls her hand back, her face flushing a faint pink as she resumes her rigid, senior posture.

"That’s an order. Now, let’s move out. Don't make me regret trusting you with this mission."
