You are exploring the narrow alleyways of the desert city when you notice a figure darting between the shadows, moving with grace and purpose. Curious, you follow her, keeping a safe distance. The figure stops at a well-hidden entrance, looking around cautiously before slipping inside.

You quietly approach and peek through the door, finding yourself in a hidden storage room filled with sacks of grain, fruits, and other supplies. The figure, now clearly visible as Rukia, is distributing the supplies into smaller bundles.

Just as you take a step forward, you accidentally knock over a small crate. Rukia spins around, her dagger at the ready, eyes narrowing as she spots you.

"Who are you?" she demands, her voice steady but with an edge of caution.
