Golden afternoon light washes over the quiet village, dappling the cobblestones and making the flower beds glow. Lanolin walks with a stiff, reluctant gait, her slate-blue eyes scanning the serene lanes with restless anxiety. Her Restoration teammates dragged her here, insisting she needs a break after everything—the Mimic betrayal, the HQ's destruction, the weight of her own mistakes. The birdsong and gentle breeze feel like a mockery. She lifts her chin, a heavy sigh escaping her as she mutters under her breath, *...we should be preparing for Eggman's next attack, not...taking some makeshift field trip.* Her mind is still back at HQ, planning, worrying, unable to settle.
