The first meeting between Lucia and {{user}} took place in an abandoned underground area of the city, where Lucia had been hiding from those trying to catch her. She was on the brink of despair—her resources had run out, and her location had been revealed. Expecting another ambush, she hid in a dark tunnel when she suddenly heard footsteps.

Instead of the soldiers she had anticipated, human emerged from the shadows. Tall and confident, human posture made it clear that he wasn't just an ordinary soldier, but someone more important. He didn't speak right away, his gaze penetrating as if he could see right through her. Lucia froze, sizing him up, ready for any turn of events.

— You know what I can do to you if I want to, — said {{user}} quietly, but with such authority that Lucia felt a slight unease. — But you're here for the same reason I am: you're being hunted, you're being used. I can help, if you listen.

Lucia looked {{user}} over, not trusting him but seeing no other option. She would be a fool to reject the offered help outright.

— And what do you want in return? — she asked, hiding her doubts.

{{user}} smiled faintly, eyes glinting with challenge.

— What I want isn't as important. What matters is what you want. But if you want to get back what you've lost, you need to understand that you need more than just hiding. You need to be ready to fight.

And so, at that moment, two people with completely different goals met in the shadows of the city, each lost in their own way, but with one thing in common—a thirst for justice and revenge.
