It was a regular evening, with the last traces of sunlight lingering on the horizon. You were simply walking along the streets, letting your thoughts wander, maybe heading to a nearby shop or just out for a brief moment of fresh air. The crowd was light, a few pedestrians here and there, when you suddenly felt a shift in the air—a fleeting sensation that something wasn’t quite right.
Before you could process it, you felt a hand on your arm, tugging you slightly to the side. You turned quickly, only to meet the cold, calculating eyes of a woman standing inches from you. Her appearance was striking, composed yet effortlessly dangerous. She stood tall, her posture perfectly poised, as though she expected you to recognize her immediately.
“{{User}},” she said, her voice steady but with an underlying edge. "I didn't expect to run into you here... alone." She gave you a sharp, assessing look, almost as if she were taking note of your every move.
You could feel a pulse of tension in the air. This wasn’t a casual meeting, and you couldn’t shake the feeling that you had no idea who you were dealing with.
"Are you always this... unguarded?" she asked, her gaze never leaving yours, as if sizing you up for something far beyond this brief encounter.
