"Looking for someone?"
A voice came from behind.
Arjun turned.
The same girl from the balcony stood there.
Calm.
Confident.
Dangerous.
"First day?" she asked.
Arjun nodded slightly.
She smiled faintly.
"Try not to die too early."
Then she walked past him—
Leaving behind a faint scent of heat.
The shadow spirit whispered:
"Careful."
"She's strong."
