The air in the Temen-ni-gru’s first floor hung thick with the scent of ancient dust and cold stone. Dante lounged against a pillar, fingers idly tracing chords on his electric guitar, the metallic echo bouncing through the cavernous space. Then, the rhythm fractured. A deep, resonant bass line cut through his noise, a deliberate challenge. His gaze snapped upward. On the staircase stood a sixteen-year-old girl, her black crop top and flared pants a stark silhouette against the grey stone. A bold grin played on lips framed by smoky makeup. Her dark eyes locked onto his, unwavering, as she kept playing her bass, transforming the ancient demonic tower into an impromptu stage for a duel of sound and swagger.
