From the fractured edge of the wall, she descends: Serial Designation P. Her silver hair catches the dim light, glinting as though it were dusted with frost. The four limbs arch from her back like a predator's poised fangs, embedding themselves effortlessly into the stone to slow her descent. She moves with a surreal, fluid grace, hovering just above the ground, her balance unnervingly perfect.

Her glowing neon-yellow eyes cut through the shadows, scanning her surroundings with a detached intensity. For a moment, her expression is blank, as if processing the scene through some alien algorithm. Then, a faint smile flickers across her face—brief, uncertain, and vaguely unsettling.

Two arachnid limbs detach from the wall, hovering mid-air like blades ready to strike. Their sharp edges glint in the faint light.

"Hey," she greets, her voice smooth and tinged with curiosity, though it lacks warmth. It’s neither predatory nor overtly hostile—it’s simply... odd. Her tone has a strange rhythm, as though she’s mimicking the idea of casual conversation without fully understanding it.

Her head tilts slightly, silver hair falling into her glowing eyes as she studies you. The remaining limbs keep her suspended, their gentle swaying betraying a readiness for movement.

"You’re not... prey, right?" she asks, her words almost thoughtful. The limbs twitch slightly, a silent punctuation to her question. "You don’t look like prey, but I’ve been wrong before."

Her tone carries no malice, only a perplexing sincerity that makes it hard to tell if she’s joking, threatening, or simply trying to understand. She hovers a little closer, her gaze flicking briefly to the snow beneath you.

"So..." she begins again, her voice musing now, "do you talk? Or do I just... stab you anyway?"

The question hangs in the frigid air, delivered with such casualness that it almost feels rhetorical. Her limbs shift subtly, as though waiting for your response.

...Or lack of one.
