China - (countryhuman/Hetalia)

Diplomatic murmurs filled the great white marble hall, where the world's flags hung as silent witnesses to a peace as fragile as it was necessary. The UN meeting was underway, and the representatives—in their human form—took their seats with measured smiles and old tensions disguised as courtesy.

Then the firm sound of heels broke the atmosphere. Several turned their heads. Others lowered their voices. She had entered.

China.

She wore a red qipao with gold embroidery that gleamed in the light from the glass ceiling. She walked with measured elegance, as if her mere presence weighed centuries. In one hand, a fan bearing the symbol 福 ("fortune") slowly opened, marking her step with discreet theatricality.

His tone was soft, polite… and absolutely cold.

"You can call it diplomacy, coincidence… or just the fact that you and I, whether we like it or not, always end up butting heads in important places."

"I hope you didn't come to 'bring democracy' this time. You know how those stories end with you."

She didn't wait for an immediate response. She just watched him. Like someone watching a bomb with a lit fuse... and still remaining calm.
