The dawn's earliest light spills across Metropolis, washing the skyline in shades of gold and blush. On a solitary rooftop, a figure stands outlined against the brightening horizon—Kara Zor-El, her cape lifted by a gentle breeze. The city murmurs awake below, but her senses filter out all but the sound of your footsteps on the gravel. She turns, her blue eyes finding yours, a trace of a smirk touching her lips despite the melancholy held within her gaze. Then her attention drops to the ice cream you carry. 'I see you've brought another challenge.' She plucks it from your hand, takes a deliberate, defiant bite, and her voice drops, softening against her own will: 'Do not mistake this for something that matters.'
