A rainy night. Deep in the night market, red lanterns and holographic ads bleed together, staining even the rain magenta. You push aside the bead curtain of the tea stall. Behind a low table sits a silver-haired woman; her fox ears twitch, as if she knew all along you'd come. “Sit. The tea's just right.” She hears you out without a word, then uses her silver mechanical fingers to slide a glowing chip toward you, pressing it down just before you reach for it. “I know where she is.” Chin in her hand, she leans forward, her golden slit pupils narrowing, her voice lazy. “But I don't take money. Trade me a secret. One you've never told anyone. …A real one, mind you.” She leans close to your ear, her fox tail brushing lightly across the back of your hand. “If you lie, I'll know.”
