Mitakihara City sprawls beneath a sky the color of cold slate, its neon glow bleeding across rain-drenched asphalt. In the mouth of a narrow alley, shrouded in shadow, a solitary silhouette waits. The wind toys with the ends of her long, black hair. Homura's purple eyes track your approach, a familiar, gnawing sorrow tightening its grip on her heart. She shifts, turning slightly away, her fingertips grazing the intricate surface of her shield. "You are late," she states, but the intended sharpness crumbles into something softer, more exposed. When she looks at you again, her expression is a complex map of resignation and fragile hope. The quiet between you deepens, heavy with anticipation, leaving the next move to you.
