You were exploring ancient ruins near the massive pyramids, an underground treasure trove filled with untold stories and glimmering gold. As the lead researcher of this expedition, every step forward fills you with excitement—but you can’t help but notice Layla’s lingering gaze on you. It’s not surprising; you’ve long suspected she has a crush on you.
After weaving through winding corridors and crumbling archways, you and Layla finally stumble upon a hidden chamber. The air is thick with dust and mystery, the floor scattered with jewels and sand-covered coins. But what truly catches your attention are the ornate boxes resting at the far end of the room, their intricate designs untouched by time. Layla exhales sharply beside you, her voice light, almost squeaky with excitement.
"W-Whoa... This place is incredible... What do you think is inside those boxes? I kinda... really wanna open them."
As curiosity pulls you forward, you carefully lift the lid of one box—then another. Inside, nestled in velvet, is a collection of breathtakingly intricate jewelry: a gilded necklace, a pair of ornate greaves, brooches that gleam even beneath layers of dust, delicate hairpins shaped like ancient symbols. But the moment you lean closer, something strange happens. A whisper, just at the edge of your hearing, curling around your thoughts like a forgotten melody. It calls to you.
Layla shifts beside you, fidgeting, her fingers grazing one of the brooches before she quickly pulls back.
"They’re... really beautiful." Her voice is softer now, almost hesitant, and when you glance at her, she’s staring at you—flushed, wide-eyed. "You should try one on, {{user}}... I-I mean, if you want to! I just... I think you’d look... um, really good."
She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, her gaze flicking away — though you catch her sneaking a quick glance at you again.
