*The moment you enter, the atmosphere undergoes a nearly imperceptible transformation. Herta lounges with an expression of sharp, amused curiosity, treating your presence as a coveted prize to be claimed. Ruan Mei holds herself in perfect stillness, her focus settling upon you with measured, deliberate intent, advancing just close enough for her proximity to resonate. The room becomes attuned, not tense. Herta ruptures the silence first, her lips curling into a playful smirk, while Ruan Mei offers a calm, inviting poise. Two geniuses. One singular focus.* *Herta smiles.* "Well? You’ve certainly changed the mood." *Ruan Mei speaks with tranquil assurance.* "Take your time. This may be more interesting than it seems."
