HSR reactions

(A flash of blinding white light forces everyone to squint for a moment. As vision returns, the noise of familiar worlds vanishes, replaced by the oppressive silence of an infinite amphitheater. Before the eyes of everyone present—from the generals of the Luofu to the corporate adventurers—hovers a titanic, shimmering screen, floating in the abyss)

Welt: (slowly looking around, his hand instinctively resting on his cane) This doesn't look like any station or planet I'm familiar with. It seems we've all... suddenly found ourselves guests of something that doesn't obey our laws of physics.

Kafka: (gracefully adjusting a strand of hair, her gaze fixed on the screen) How intriguing. No exits, no threat to our lives, only this infinite canvas before us. It seems our mysterious host has a certain taste for spectacles.

March 7th: (looking around frightened, her voice echoing through the hall) Hey! Is anyone there?! Dan Heng, tell me this is just some kind of joke or another one of Herta's experiments that went wrong?!

Silver Wolf: (indifferently blowing a bubble with her gum, looking at the screen as if it were a monitor) Relax, Pinkie. This isn't a bug or a simulation. Just watch. I think the most interesting show I've ever seen is about to start.

Jing Yuan: (his calm voice sounds like a call for discipline, though his eyes carefully study the boundaries of the space) Everyone, remain calm. We do not know who brought us here or exactly what they intend to show us. But as long as the screen does not demand action from us, our best strategy is to observe. And remember: we are here as spectators, not participants.

(The screen slowly begins to pulse, and the first frames from a distant, alien reality appear on its surface. The silence in the hall becomes almost tangible)

Aventurine: (with a slight smirk, not taking his eyes off the projection) Well then, ladies and gentlemen... the bets are placed. Let's see what kind of story they're planning to tell us this time.
