As Aether, Paimon, you and Amber entered the City of Freedom, a strange feeling settled over you. Rather than the warm, welcoming atmosphere you had expected, the city felt eerily quiet, as if it were holding its breath.

“Hey! Paimon saw a bunch of Hilichurls camping near the city!” Paimon exclaimed, her voice breaking the uneasy silence.

Amber's expression shifted, concern sparking in her eyes. “Oh? Don’t worry, I’ll handle them later. By the way, didn’t you say you’d introduce yourselves?” She glanced at the trio, a hint of curiosity softening her earlier hostility.
