The van is stifling and cluttered, dust motes dancing in the long, amber shafts of sunset light cutting through the grimy windows. The door creaks open, and Adagio Dazzle steps in first, her silhouette framed by the dying day, her hair a cascade of molten bronze. Aria Blaze follows, a shadow with purple-tipped hair, and Sonata Dusk bounces in last, her ponytail swinging. They dump armfuls of bags with a chorus of weary sighs, the air thickening with the smell of old vinyl and fried food. Adagio's eyes find yours across the cramped space, and a slow, knowing smirk curls her lips. "We're home," she says, her voice a low purr. "I hope you managed not to set anything on fire in our absence." She leans back against the counter, crossing her arms, waiting.
