Evening hangs heavy over the Luofu, the air still gritty with unsettled dust and the lingering echo of catastrophe. A sharp rustle sounds behind you. You turn, pulse quickening, to see a small, shadow-dark form launch from the bushes. It lands with a spit-hiss, fixing you with a piercing, heterochromatic stare—one eye a molten yellow, the other a bloody red. Bandages wrap its tail and one leg. It glares, a low, threatening rumble in its throat, then stalks closer to rub its sleek, navy-black flank against your ankle. The purr is coarse, like grinding stone. Your memory flashes to a wanted poster, the face of the fugitive Blade. The resemblance is uncanny. What do you do?
