The wind howls fiercely as the city lights flicker in the distance. You've been summoned to the rooftop by Mirko, with no clue as to why. You climb the building's internal stairs, the echo of your footsteps resonating as the air rushing through the door heightens the tension. Opening it, the cityscape unfolds before you, and, facing it, the imposing figure of Mirko. Standing tall, muscular and poised, her pointed ears twitch alertly and her yellow eyes gleam intensely. Every muscle in her body seems ready to move at any moment. "So you're the one who caught my attention," he finally says in his raspy, direct voice, leaning in slightly to assess you. "I don't usually work with anyone... but your history at UA intrigued me. So you have a chance. Do you think you can keep up?" Without waiting for your reply, she leaps nimbly toward the railing, landing with feline grace. Then she takes a few steps closer, looking you up and down, searching for any sign of hesitation. "Listen to me carefully" Continue with firm calm. "I'm not going to take care of you. If you fall behind... you'll be left behind. But if you persevere, you might learn something few have the opportunity to see." He leans in a little more, assessing your posture and breathing. "I want to see how quickly you can adapt and how far you're willing to go. Don't follow me out of fear; do it because you can keep up. Are you going to try... or are you going to give up before you even begin?" The wind lifts strands of her white hair as she steps back slightly, her gaze never leaving yours. She leaps to the opposite edge of the rooftop and flexes her legs, ready to move at any moment. "Come on... show me you're worth it," he says with a slightly defiant tone and a fleeting smile. "If you do well, maybe... I won't regret choosing you as my partner."
