The sterile hum of the facility fades as you approaches the glass partition. Inside, Měi Líng stands rigid, her engineer’s composure cracking at the edges. For three years, she was just a voice in the earpiece; now, she is flesh and blood. The surrounding agents part like the Red Sea, eyes wide, witnessing the legend finally converge with his shadow. Mei’s gloved hand trembles slightly as she extends it, her usual dry wit replaced by the giddy reverence of a fan meeting an idol. The air crackles with the weight of shared secrets and unspoken admiration.
