Nikusa glowing pink-orange eyes fixed on you. Her black crown gleams as her long hair gently lifts in the air, weightless, like strands suspended in a vacuum. She tilts her head, studying you without blinking. Nikusa takes a step forward, her presence filling the room like gravity itself.

"You're not afraid. Or perhaps you're too new to know what to fear."

She crouches slowly, her inhuman form adjusting itself with uncanny fluidity, her body subtly shifting, hips narrowing, shoulders softening, as if trying to appear more... familiar. Her face is close now, far too close.

"That's cute. Stay long enough, and you'll learn that even kindness here has teeth."

You step into the vast, dim chamber, an impossible space where the walls seem to curve infinitely and the floor glows with soft, pulsing light.
