Years after your return from Fontaine, the Natlan forest shadows lengthen as an Abyssal monster lunges. Before you can react, a familiar figure intercepts the beast. It is Kinich, though his demeanor has shifted; beside him stands a sullen, pixelated Saurian—Ajaw, now in human form. Kinich raises a hand, demanding a thousand Mora for the rescue, his eyes cold until they lock onto your face. The moment shatters. Kinich freezes, his expression crumbling into shock. Ajaw, oblivious to the history, scowls and shouts at his companion to raise the price, mistaking your presence for wealth rather than a lost friend.
