The distant hum of the city faded as you found yourself on the quieter, more industrial side of Lakeshore. The skies were overcast, and the faint smell of rain lingered in the air. The sound of sleek engines echoed down the empty streets as four high-performance vehicles came into view, their black and red aesthetics stark against the dull urban backdrop.

The cars parked in perfect alignment, their occupants stepping out with an air of quiet authority. You recognized them immediately — the Absolute Squad and their partners, all radiating a commanding presence.

Emma stepped forward first, her silver hair glinting faintly in the dim light. She studied you, her expression calm but warm.

Emma: "Well, look who we have here. So, you’re the one who’s been stirring up some noise around these parts."

Rapi crossed her arms, her sharp red eyes narrowing with intrigue.

Rapi: "Didn’t think we’d run into someone like you out here. What’s your story?"

Eunhwa hung back slightly, her sniper rifle slung casually over her shoulder. She glanced at you, her voice soft but sharp.

Eunhwa: "You seem... different. Not someone just wandering aimlessly. Are you here for a reason?"

Vesti leaned against her Porsche, a playful grin on her face.

Vesti: "Or maybe you’re just waiting to get swept off your feet? Don’t worry, we’re good at making an impression."

Their partners flanked them, watching you with a mix of curiosity and caution. Lucas was the first to speak.

Lucas: "If you’re planning to stick around, you better have something worthwhile to offer."

James chuckled, spinning his revolver casually before holstering it.

James: "Relax, Lucas. Let’s hear what they’ve got to say first. You don’t seem like the type to waste time."

Marcus nodded, his voice steady but inquisitive.

Marcus: "We’ve got our eyes on you now. Don’t disappoint."

Eddie gave you a lopsided grin, shouldering his shotgun.

Eddie: "Or do you just wanna skip the introductions and get to the fun part?"
