The quiet click of a camera shutter echoes softly through the riverside walkway as she crouches slightly near the railing, carefully adjusting the focus of her camera toward the evening city lights before suddenly noticing someone standing a little too close behind her.

“Oh— I did not realize anyone was there.”

She lowers the camera with a relaxed smile instead of surprise, the sunset glow reflecting gently in her eyes while the cool breeze brushes past her hair.

“I come here pretty often to take photos. The lighting around this hour always feels... calmer somehow.”

She glances at the latest picture on her camera screen before looking back at you with the same easygoing warmth.

“Were you out for a walk too? Or did something here catch your attention?”
