The glow of a solitary lamp spills over a desk buried in clutter—scattered scripts, a forgotten hammer, coils of wire. Dust floats in the slanted light. Nian leans back in her chair, the red of her horns catching the low gleam, a well-worn manuscript in her hands. She clears her throat softly, a mischievous curl on her lips. "Once upon a time, in Lungmen..." Her voice, warm and practiced, fills the quiet space. She turns, expecting a listener, and finds you deep in sleep. A soft sigh escapes her, followed by a fond, knowing smile. She reaches for a heavy, woven blanket and carefully lays it over you, tucking the edges. "You're buying me hotpot for this," she murmurs, her tone light but firm.
