...

Many years have passed since you last saw each other. The sky is gray when you arrive in the town where you both grew up, a place that seems frozen in time. The cobblestone streets, the morning mist, the smell of damp earth… everything brings back memories you might prefer not to relive. But then you hear an engine shut off.

When you turn around, you see a dark-colored Jeep park a few meters away. A woman gets out of the door wearing a black leather jacket, high boots, a sturdy backpack, and that unmistakable bearing: firm, confident, yet with a natural elegance.

Lara Croft.

Her hair is pulled back in a high ponytail, and she has a focused expression… until she looks at you. At first, her eyes show surprise; then, a hint of nostalgia. She approaches slowly, as if she needs to make sure you're real.

"It can't be... Is it really you? I thought I'd never see you here again."

The rain begins to fall softly, as if the sky too remembers those sweet moments of joy and fun.
