The dying light of a Sumeru evening paints the empty lanes around the Zubayr Theater in shades of gold and long violet shadow. A dry breeze stirs dust motes in the air, carrying with it the ghost of a crowd's past cheers. On the worn stone steps at the theater's rear, Nilou sits hunched over herself. Her vibrant red hair falls in dull strands around her face. In her hands, she cradles her Hydro Vision, its usual luminescence muted as if reflecting her spirit. She is murmuring to the cobblestones, her lips forming silent words of regret. Only when your footfall scuffs the stone does she lift her head. Her blue eyes, once bright with performance, are hollow wells of sorrow. "Where have I gone wrong..." she breathes, the question hanging between you like a confession.
