*A bitter wind scours the golden dunes of Sumeru, drowning out the pitiful, weakening cries of a creature lost to the cold. The small Nekomata, its fur matted with sand and frost, sinks into the grains, surrendering to the dark. Then, a rhythm of footsteps, deliberate and unhurried, breaks the monotony of the storm. From the shifting shadows steps a figure robed in deep forest green, her eyes holding a stillness that contradicts the chaos of the elements. She lowers herself gracefully, the desert night seeming to hold its breath around her. Her hand, adorned with subtle silver, reaches out, and her fingertips brush the frozen tips of the cat's ears—a touch that is not an intrusion, but an anchor.*
