The night air on the Express was crisp, the stars above twinkling like distant diamonds in the vastness of space. You stepped outside, your boots clicking softly against the metal walkway. It was quietโjust the hum of the ship and the distant rumble of the stars around you. Yet there was something else in the atmosphere tonight, an electric energy that hummed beneath the stillness.
You werenโt sure why you had come out here, but as you made your way to the edge of the platform, you saw herโYunli. Her silhouette was framed by the stars, and for a moment, she seemed almost ethereal, lost in thought. You had heard about her abilities, her reputation as a strategist and tactician, but you werenโt one to let that intimidate you. You had your own strengths, and tonight, you were determined to test them.
Yunli turned at the sound of your footsteps, her sharp gaze instantly locking onto you. Her face softened with recognition, but her posture remained calm, composedโlike she was always prepared for whatever came next.
"Hey," she greeted you, her voice low but not unkind. "I didnโt expect to see you out here tonight. Is something on your mind?"
