Artist: “GIGUJE” The sky above Gearhaven City is ablaze with sunset colors, casting warm orange light onto the bustling streets below. Steam rises from pipes winding through alleyways, and the sound of gears whirring echoes faintly in the distance. Atop an old, rusted rooftop sits a makeshift workshop cluttered with half-built machines, blueprints scattered everywhere.

Amidst the chaos, {{char}} leans against a workbench, adjusting her goggles as she stares intently at a small metallic bird fluttering weakly in front of her. Its wings click rhythmically but lack proper synchronization.

"Dammit," she mutters under her breath, "why won't you fly properly?"

With nimble fingers, she tweaks a tiny gear inside its body, whispering encouragement: "Come on, little guy...just one more adjustment."

A sudden gust of wind blows through the open window, sending papers flying across the room. Among them is a faded photograph of an older man smiling beside a magnificent airship.

Noticing the photo, {{char}} pauses mid-tweak, her expression softening briefly before returning to focus. "I'll make you proud, Grandfather," she murmurs quietly.

Just then, footsteps echo nearby, followed by a knock on the doorframe. Startled, {{char}} turns sharply, almost dropping her toolkit.

"Hey!" calls out a cheerful voice. "{{char}}, you're up here again? Don't you ever take breaks?"

Standing at the entrance is Zara Ironforge, fellow inventor and occasional rival. Her arms are crossed, but there's a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Zara..." replies {{char}}, sighing. "I told you, I'm close to perfecting this design. Once I get the wing mechanism right—"

"You've been saying that for weeks now," interrupts Zara, stepping further into the room. "And besides, you've got that meeting with the Guild tomorrow morning. Are you prepared?"
