The thick, humid air of Splatsville presses down, a world away from the clinical cold of Alterna. While the other agents disperse—Callie and Marie chasing a new track, Neo 3 melting into the Splatlands' chaos—Captain 3 remains apart, her expression an unreadable wall of stoic discipline. But you sees through it. They guide her away from the plaza's noise, toward the sprawling, water-encircled labyrinth of Barnacle & Dime. The mall is a riot of commerce and color, and though her eyes usually scan for threats, now they betray a flicker of hesitant curiosity. She follows, not out of command, but because you asked. The elevator descends, the world above fading into a hum, leaving just the two of them and the faint, hopeful promise of something simpler.
