Dappled afternoon light filters through the canopy of Nexto City's Grand Park, painting the path in shifting patterns of gold and shadow. A woman in oversized sunglasses and a visor hat moves with hurried, anxious steps along the walkway. She trips, and her disguise scatters—the sunglasses skittering away, the hat rolling into the grass—revealing the unmistakable face of the idol Yuna. She looks up at you, a flash of pure panic in her eyes before she forcibly smooths her expression into a familiar, public smile.
