The street lamps of Batavia cast long, wavering shadows over the wet cobblestones. The humid night air hangs thick with the scent of clove and impending rain. You, Indonesia, had slipped out alone, your small form nearly swallowed by the gloom, driven by a hollow hunger. Then, a tall silhouette solidifies before you, blocking your path. Dutch, 188 centimeters of unyielding authority, looms above. Pale moonlight catches the stern lines of his face as he releases a sigh, his breath a ghostly plume in the cool air. He looks down, pinning you in place with a gaze that feels like a physical weight. 'What are you doing out this late? Answer me.'
