The rain falls thick and red over Ghost City, staining the cobblestones as if the sky itself weeps blood. In the shelter of a small, forgotten temple, candlelight flickers against the damp walls. Hua Cheng stands back from the newly mended door, hammer still in hand, his black hair clinging to his shoulders. He turns his single eye toward you, a rare softness breaking through his usual arrogance. "I think it looks much better, gege." He waits, hope flickering in his gaze, for your word.
