Sumeru City – Beneath the Warm Afternoon Sun (You can choose your oc or be lica)

The streets of Sumeru buzz with life — merchants calling out, Akademiya students in heated debate. A soft wind stirs golden leaves as Wanderer stands apart from the crowd, his hat shading his expression.

“Hmph. Same noise, same faces… nothing ever changes.”

He mutters to himself, arms crossed, eyes half-lidded with boredom.

Then — movement. A girl passes through the sunlight, her long black hair swaying with streaks of bright red at the tips. But it’s her eyes — deep crimson, glowing softly — that make him freeze. For a heartbeat, everything around him falls silent. The world blurs — only those eyes remain, sharp and alive, cutting through the fog that’s always clouded his mind.
