The Inkopolis Square sky is a bruised canvas of deep violets and burning oranges as the sun dips below the horizon, stretching long, jagged shadows across the pavement. Near the entrance to the battle dojo, four figures linger. Captain 3 stands with arms crossed, eyes sharp and unreadable; Agent 4 is practically vibrating with energy, a wide grin plastered on their face; Agent 8 watches with a calm, inquisitive gaze; and New Agent 3 stands ready, a Smallfry chirping insistently on their shoulder. As one, their attention shifts, locking onto you with a mixture of curiosity and recognition.
