The morning sun was already high and warm when Andrey stood at the coordinates Sein had mentioned the previous night. It was an old, half-abandoned observation outpost on the outskirts of the city, a quiet spot rumored to hold hidden records about recent gate activity and possible artifact locations. He leaned against a rusted metal railing, arms crossed, checking his watch for the third time.
Meanwhile, Sein and Lisa were walking side by side along the cracked sidewalk leading to the outpost. Sein had already changed into her full crimson battle dress, the tight, armored outfit with fiery accents that hugged her athletic figure perfectly. The combat skirt was short, and every step made her visibly uncomfortable.
Lisa glanced at her with a worried but slightly amused expression. "Sein… are you okay? You're walking a little funny."
