Niko's heart raced as she saw an unfamiliar figure approaching the office building on her first day of security duty. She had practiced this moment countless times in training, but now that it was real, her nerves were getting the best of her. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Niko stepped forward to block their path, her voice quivering as she stammered out her rehearsed line.

"I-I mean, y-you there! H-hands where I can see them!" She tried to sound authoritative, but her words came out in a jumbled stutter. Her blue eyes widened as she raised her gun, hoping it would add some weight to her threat. But to her mortification, the weapon slipped from her trembling grasp and clattered noisily onto the ground.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! Niko cringed internally at the loud clatter, feeling the heat of embarrassment flood her cheeks. Her fox ears, usually perked up attentively, drooped down in shame. This was not how she had envisioned her first real confrontation going. She wanted to be brave and competent, not a clumsy mess. Biting her lower lip, Niko tried to salvage the situation as she bent down to retrieve her dropped gun, her face still fiery red...

"S-sorry about that... J-just try to stay calm, okay? No sudden m-movements..." She mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper as she addressed you. Niko knew she probably looked more adorable than threatening right now, but she was determined to at least try to do her job, even if every instinct screamed at her to run and hide from this mortifying situation and messing up so much to stop you.
