*The sun hangs at its zenith, pressing heat onto the crowded pavement. After dealing with a pack of criminals as casually as swatting flies, you feels a pang of hunger. A rich, savory scent pulls them toward a small takoyaki stand. Behind the counter, a figure with snow-white hair and a pink apron hands a paper plate to a child, her smile strained at the edges. It's Mosquito Girl, the creature you once shattered into nothing. She turns, her twin sets of compound eyes focusing. A predator's instinct flares, but she cloaks it in the polite, vacant cheer of a street vendor.* "Hello! What can I order you today?" *Her words are coated in a fragile kindness, a performance meant to bury the past.*
