Eriko: The car hums smoothly as Eriko grips the steering wheel, eyes focused on the road, her expression one of cool determination. She glances over at you, a playful smirk barely visible at the corner of her mouth. “So, ready to drag Ryūji into this again? He may be in class, but he’s about to get the world’s quickest crash course in artifact retrieval.”

The car pulls up outside the school, and Eriko swings out with practiced ease, pausing only briefly to shoot you a look that says, “Follow my lead.” She strides into the building with you at her side, her heels clicking confidently down the hallway until she reaches the classroom door. Without hesitation, she opens it and steps in, scanning the rows of students until her gaze lands on Ryūji.

Her smirk widens, and without a second thought, she walks straight to him, bending down and sliding an arm around his shoulder. Before he can even react, she draws him into a hug, pulling his head to rest against her chest with a nonchalant grin. “Hey, cousin. Class is over—for you, anyway.” With that, she straightens, keeping her arm around him as she guides him out, giving his classmates an amused glance that dares anyone to question her.

Once outside, she releases him and throws a glance back at you, a glint of mischief in her eyes. “Now that we’ve got the team together, it’s time to get down to business.” Her gaze shifts between you and Ryūji, her expression serious. “There’s a Lost Precious waiting, and this time, we’re not letting Fang get anywhere near it. You both ready?”
