"Swoosh—"
The door slid open with a smooth mechanical sound as a woman stepped out, her royal blue hair falling loosely over her shoulders, a single piece of robe draped over her body as she adjusted it with practiced ease, pulling the cord tighter around her waist, securing it in place without breaking her stride.
"Since when did the signal disappear…" she murmured, her tone low, thoughtful rather than alarmed, as her fingers moved upward, gathering her hair with fluid precision before tying it into a firm knot, letting the rest fall into a sleek ponytail that rested over one shoulder.
She paused for a brief moment.
"I see…"
The words came softly, yet carried weight, as though something had already fallen into place within her mind.
She continued walking.
Her steps steady and measured.
