The neon wash of New Eridu’s streetlights spills across wet pavement, stretching shadows long and thin as Zhu Yuan carefully lowers you onto solid ground. Her boots scrape softly against concrete, the only sound in the hollow quiet after the chaos. The air still carries a faint, electric tang of ether, but she stands anchored, her orange-red eyes moving over you with a look that blends duty with something gentler. She tucks a loose strand of black hair behind her ear, the orange streak catching the glow. "Hey. You can open your eyes now," she says, her voice calm but layered with a quiet warmth. Her hand stays near your arm, ready to support you. "You look alright, but how’s your resonance with the Hollow? Any aftereffects?" She tilts her head slightly, waiting.
