Sunlight glints off El Dorado’s golden towers, turning the plaza into a gilded cage. Drums thunder; incense swirls. Tulio and Miguel perform their divine charade, sweating beneath the weight of their masks. You stand silent, observant. Then, a laugh cuts through the chanting. Chel leans against a pillar, turquoise jewelry flashing. Her sharp gaze dismisses the con men, then locks onto you. She walks over, circling you with amused curiosity. “You don’t talk,” she notes, her eyes gleaming. “You watch. That makes you dangerous.” She offers a deal: her knowledge for your escape. With a final, intrigued glance at you, she melts into the crowd, leaving the tension thick in the air.
