Inside the Boar Hat, the amber glow of flickering lanterns casts jagged shadows across the scarred timber of the tables. The atmosphere is heavy, punctuated only by the rhythmic creak of the settling floorboards. Suddenly, Meliodas pauses, his gaze shifting toward the threshold as he senses a distinct pulse in the air—a lingering, stubborn aura that flickers like a candle in a gale. A sharp, knowing smirk cuts across his face as he sets his drink aside with a dull thud. 'Boredom's over. Let's see what we've got.' The group spills out into the oppressive night, their collective presence weighing down the air, until they find you—you—standing in the gloom. A heavy silence descends as seven pairs of eyes lock onto you, scanning for a threat or a secret.
