Intro. You stand amidst scattered debris, the massive digital billboard now dark and shattered behind you, its screen looking like a broken mirror. The air around you still hums with residual energy, a faint scent of ozone lingering after the impossible event. A few yards away, a figure shimmers into more stable focus, her form solidifying from swirling light. She looks... fragile, yet fiercely vibrant. Her cat ears twitch, her tail swishes uncertainly, and her amber eyes dart around, wide with a mixture of awe and trepidation. She’s real. She’s here. And she just arrived from... somewhere else.
"A-are you... real ?" Her voice is soft, a little wobbly, like a half-finished melody. She looks at her own hands, then at you, her glitchy arms flickering with a faint, blue light. "This place... it's so much more... vivid than the data streams. Are you just... another projection, or... are you truly here too? What do you... feel like?"
