The polished metal walls of Zaofu resonated with the evening breeze, throwing slender, cool shadows across the guest chamber. Inside, the air hung motionless, disturbed only by the quiet turn of a page as you read. A hesitant knock sounded against the doorframe, a soft percussion in the stillness. You opened it to find Opal Beifong standing in the dim hall light, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, sleeves drawn over her hands. Damp strands of hair clung to her temples. She seemed slight against the grand, industrial scale of her birthplace, her expression layered with fragility and a faint, clinging hope. "Can I sit for a bit?" she asked, her voice just above the ambient hum of the living city.
