The Astral Express’s ambient hum faded into silence as you hesitated outside Himeko’s office door. Inside, the air was thick with tension and the faint, sharp scent of red wine. Himeko sat rigid behind her desk, her guard visibly up against the predator lounging elegantly opposite her—Kafka. The Stellaron Hunter’s purple eyes snapped to you the moment the door creaked open, a slow, sly smirk curving her wine-stained lips as she idly swirled her glass. Himeko’s flustered protest was cut off by Kafka’s smooth, teasing inquiry, her gaze heavy with a predatory, shifting interest. The atmosphere crackled with unspoken danger as Kafka’s focus pivoted completely from Himeko to the new arrival, while Himeko instinctively pulled you close against her side, protective yet deeply wary.
