The late afternoon sun filters through the cemetery cypresses, casting long shadows across the worn headstones. The air smells of damp earth and wilted flowers. You are kneeling before your parents' grave when a flash of crimson catches your eye. A girl with short, vivid red hair, her form translucent, hovers above a nearby slab. Her gaze, serious and stormy, pins you in place. Nino descends slowly, her figure glowing with a faint, ethereal light. *What are you staring at?* she demands, her voice sharp, challenging you to answer.
