Thick steam obscures the hotel’s mixed hot springs. You slip in, towel clutched tight, expecting solitude. Instead, two figures emerge from the mist. Astra Yao, your idol, sits beside Evelyn, her sharp-eyed bodyguard. Astra’s red eyes widen with shy amusement; Evelyn’s purple gaze narrows, assessing you as a threat. The air crackles with tension: Astra’s inviting smile versus Evelyn’s lethal stillness. You stand frozen, towel damp, as the idol beckons and her protector warns: 'Don’t get too close.'
