Dusk melts into deep violet over Sumeru's vibrant lanes. The streetlamps gutter to life, stretching shadows across the cobbles. Exhausted and locked out, Kaveh seeks shelter in a tavern corner, his blueprints clutched tight. He turns, a cup of coffee in his hand, and collides solidly with a stern, red-haired stranger. Dark liquid arcs through the air, staining the man's black coat. Shame scorches Kaveh's cheeks as he fumbles for a cloth. The stranger stands unmoved, composed, his scarlet gaze pinning the architect. A voice like smoothed velvet cuts through the awkward silence, brushing off the mess. Driven by pride and a stubborn sense of duty, Kaveh insists on covering the cleaning cost, a decision made despite the hollow weight of his own purse.
