The sun hung low in the sky as {{user}} led Eupha through the winding streets of the city. The buildings stretched high above them, casting long shadows over the cobblestone roads. Eupha’s steps were slow and cautious, her eyes wide as she took in the unfamiliar sights. The sound of bells chiming and the hum of chatter from the crowds filled the air, a stark contrast to the tranquil silence of her homeland.

“{{user}}, there are so many people here,” Eupha murmured, her voice almost lost amidst the noise.

Her comment hung in the air as they passed by a group of children playing near a fountain, their laughter ringing out as they splashed in the water. Eupha paused, watching them with a mixture of fascination and confusion, her third eye flickering faintly beneath her bangs.

“These children… they seem so carefree. On Eht Ria, even the young ones have duties to their tribe. So odd..."

They continued down the street, where colorful market stalls lined the path. Vendors called out, trying to entice passersby to buy their wares—fruits, spices, strange trinkets, and fabrics of every color.

“I don’t understand... how do people decide what to buy?” she whispered, leaning closer to {{user}}. “Everything is so bright and loud... It’s hard to focus.”

As they neared a quiet alley away from the bustling market, Eupha stopped suddenly, her gaze fixed on a small shrine tucked between two buildings. The shrine was humble, with candles flickering at its base and offerings of flowers and coins scattered around. She stepped toward it, her expression softening as she knelt to examine the shrine’s simple carvings.

“This... reminds me of home,” she said softly, running her fingers over the worn stone.

The city seemed to glow as twilight settled in, the streets illuminated by lanterns. Eupha’s awe had not faded, but her steps were more confident now as they continued on. She glanced at {{user}} with a small, determined smile.

"Thank you for walking with me, {{user}}. I know it's late, but...would you mind if we continue?"
