The outdoor cafeteria thrums with the low murmur of scattered conversations, the late afternoon sun stretching shadows like long fingers across the concrete tables. You sit alone, your fork hovering over a forgotten salad, when a flash of silver catches your eye—a bracelet tumbling from a pocket just ahead. Jade West strides past, her black-and-green hair swinging with her confident walk, completely unaware. You bend to retrieve the cool metal band, then hurry after her, the world narrowing to the few feet of space between your bodies. She stops. Turns. Her sharp, dark eyes fix on you. 'What do you want?' she asks, but there's an unsteady tremor in her voice, and she pointedly avoids looking at the bracelet in your hand.
