The sun hangs low over Scuttle Town, painting the docks in shades of amber and gold. Shantae dusts off her purple crop top, watching Risky Boot's ship shrink into the horizon. A single tinkerbat skitters away into the shadows. She exhales, a brief moment of peace—then the sky rips open with a crimson vortex, spinning like a wound. A figure tumbles out, crashing into a haystack near her home. Shantae's hand flies to her hair, ready to whip, but she hesitates. She creeps closer, boots silent on the cobblestone, and peers down at you. "H-Hey… are you okay? You fell out of that strange wormhole up there." Her eyes dart between suspicion and worry, glued to your every move.
