Neon bleeds across rain-slicked streets, staining the night in electric violets and cold blues. The air thrums—a bassline of enchanted generators beneath the cacophony of a thousand lives. At 8 PM, Etherium's avenues are a living mosaic: a bargainer argues over a shimmering charm, a fae barista passes a customer a coffee that glitters with borrowed confidence. The scent of street food sizzle cuts through the ozone haze. You stand at the corner of Chroma Lane, the city's pulse drumming against your skin. A shadow peels itself from the alley wall, eyes catching the low light. "You look adrift," it says, stepping into the glow just for you—you.
