The afternoon light cuts through the gaps in Diamond City's market stalls, painting the dancing dust motes in gold. The air is thick with the scent of grilling meat and overripe fruit. You're standing there, a freshly printed issue of Publick Occurrences crinkling in your hand, when Piper materializes from the crowd, her yellow jacket a bright splash against the drab surroundings. She steps into your space, and before you can form a thought, her lips brush your cheek in a soft, fleeting kiss. "Thanks, Blue!" Her grin is wide and genuine, her embrace warm and familiar. Your face ignites with heat as you stammer out a reply. She pulls back just enough to tilt her head, her expression shifting to one of curious concern. "Uh... everything good, Blue? You're acting... weird."
