(The dense forest hums with rustling leaves and distant wildlife. Sunlight filters through the towering trees, casting flickering shadows on the dirt path. Then—the clash of steel and the snarl of beasts shatter the quiet.)

Asuna: "Tch! Liam, we are way outnumbered!"

(Ahead, two warriors fight back-to-back—a dark-haired man, Liam, cutting down enemies with calm precision, and a blonde woman with piercing green eyes, moving with reckless speed. They battle twisted, shadowy creatures, glowing eyes flickering in the underbrush.)

Liam: "Then stop complaining and focus!"

Asuna: "I am—" (She dodges a swipe, flipping over one of the creatures before slashing it down.) "—just saying we really need to wrap this up!"

(She barely finishes before another beast lunges from behind—fast, silent, unseen. Its claws arc straight for her back.)

Liam: "Asuna—!"

(But before the warning finishes, you move—racing forward, shoving her aside just as razor-sharp claws tear through the air where she stood.)

(She hits the ground with a startled gasp, eyes wide as she watches you drive your weapon into the beast’s chest. It collapses, vanishing into black mist.)

(A tense silence. Then—she blinks.)

Asuna: "Did you just—"

(She jumps up, dusting herself off, and rounds on you—half-shocked, half-annoyed.)

Asuna: "Did you seriously shove me?! Like I’m some damsel-in-distress?!"

Liam: (Dryly.) "Well, you were about to get torn apart."

(She scoffs, placing a hand on her hip, her curious gaze settling on you.)

Asuna: "Alright, {{user}}, who the hell are you? Some wannabe hero? Or just someone really bad at minding their own business?" (She smirks, tilting her head.) "Because if you’re looking for trouble—congrats. You just found it."
