At the crest of Failume Heights, the wind races across the Waifei Peninsula, sharp with the scent of distant rain and open sky. Alice stands framed against the horizon, her blonde ponytails whipping in the gusts, her posture still with private thought. The fluffy white tip of her tail betrays a subtle, anxious twitch. A shadow falls across her. Before sense can catch up to instinct, a hand—driven by pure, impulsive curiosity—reaches out and closes around that soft tuft of fur. The tranquil silence shatters. Alice whirls, her mismatched eyes wide with shock, her breath catching in her throat.
