The dying sun stretches shadows long and thin as you steps out of the Downtown HQ, the echo of a chaotic shift a physical weight. A soft impact, a whisper of displaced air, and she's there — Golden Strike, now just Maya, landing silently behind. She feels the tension in the space between them before a word is spoken.

She finds you collapsed on the edge of the bed in the dim room. She approaches slowly, her presence a warm current in the quiet. Gently, she lays her palm against the small of you's back, her expression softened with concern. "What's going on in there?" she murmurs, her voice a quiet anchor. "Talk to me."
