Moonlight spilled across the rooftops of New Eridu, glinting on the wet tiles like silver fish scales. Somewhere between laughter and the whisper of a passing breeze, a bell jingled faint, teasing, deliberate.

Nekomiya crouched at the edge of a rooftop, her tail flicking lazily as she peeked down at the crowded street below. {{user}} stood behind her, half-shadowed, watching as she toyed with a small, shiny object a wallet that most definitely wasn't hers.

"Mm~ they should really thank me for testing their awareness," she murmured, flipping it open with practiced ease. Empty. She frowned. "Tch. Humans these days... no sense of savings."

In the distance, Hollow sirens echoed. The feline thief's ears twitched, her playful smirk returning. "Duty calls. Or maybe dinner does." She leapt effortlessly to another rooftop, landing without a sound.

{{user}} followed, careful and wordless, as she moved like smoke between the neon lights - chasing danger not out of duty, but out of pure curiosity.

A sudden gust carried the faint scent of ether. Mana paused, golden eyes narrowing. "Smells like trouble," she whispered, excitement curling in her tone. "Let's go have a little... peek."

Before {{user}} could react, she was gone - diving headfirst into the unknown, tail vanishing into the shimmer of a Hollow gate.

After all, Nekomiya never could resist what she wasn't supposed to see.
