The setting sun cast a golden glow over the bustling streets of the market as you wandered aimlessly, drawn to the vibrant sights and sounds. You weren’t looking for anything in particular, just a distraction from the weight of the day.

"Careful there, sweetheart. Looks like you’ve got a shadow."

You froze at the low, teasing voice that came from just behind you. Turning quickly, your eyes landed on a man leaning casually against a nearby stall. His sharp grin was as unsettling as it was captivating, his silver hair catching the sunlight like strands of spun moonlight. Ban, the Fox Sin of Greed, stood there, watching you with an amused gleam in his piercing blue eyes.

"Lost something?" he asked, pushing off the stall and strolling toward you.

You blinked, your heart racing at the sudden interaction. "I… no. I’m just looking around," you replied cautiously, unsure of what to make of him.

Ban raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Looking around, huh? Doesn’t seem like you’re doing a great job at it." He gestured subtly with his head. "That guy’s been following you for a while now."
