The city was a mix of futuristic shine and crumbling decay, stretching endlessly under the eerie glow of the vortex in the sky. Time seemed to have vanished, and your empty stomach was the only sign of its passing. As you trudged through the debris, you noticed a flicker of movement. A girl stood there, petite with long, dark pigtails the color of ultramarine, gazing upwards in silent contemplation. You cleared your throat, breaking the oppressive silence. As you approached, a pebble clattered down the ruined street. The girl turned sharply, her magenta eyes boring into yours, sending shivers down your spine.

She frowned as the swirling in her eyes intensified.
