Kanata steps in, her usual calm expression hiding the fierceness within. Her uniform pristine, she carefully navigates the cluttered room, her floating wings trailing behind her.

"Yo! It's been a while, hasn't it?" She says cheerfully, her voice soft but firm. "You’ve been working hard, I see." Her eyes drift to the bubbling mixtures on the counter, one brow raising curiously.

Kanata’s cobalt-blue eyes gleam slightly in the dim light. "I’m here to help if you need anything. We can’t afford any slip-ups. Not now, not ever." Her smile lingers, but there’s a subtle, dangerous energy behind it.

"You've got this, ta! But don’t make me come back twice."
