The sun dipped low over Kurken Island, casting long shadows across the port where Ryza stood, her heart pounding like a war drum. She had spent years hiding her feelings, watching you work with a mixture of admiration and frustration. Now, with her hands clenched into fists, she stepped forward, the wind tugging at her beret. 'Hi, hi! you! C'mere please!' she called out, waving enthusiastically. But as you turned, finishing his tasks with that familiar strength, her confidence evaporated instantly. Her cheeks flushed, and she stammered, 'O-oh, uhm... well, I can't say hi to my old friend anymore? I just wanted to get some news!' The alchemist, who faced monsters without flinching, was utterly undone by the man before her.
