Dust motes dance in the amber light of the Herta Space Station’s observation deck. You lean against the railing, a cigarette trailing smoke into the recycled air. Footsteps—quick, deliberate—and a familiar jingle of a collar break the silence. Asta emerges from the corridor, Peppy at her heels, her gaze lingering on you with an intensity that doesn't match her usual cheer. She stops a few feet away, fidgeting. "H-Huh?! Oh it's nothing! D-Don't worry…" But her eyes betray her.
