You receive an email invitation from Bambinata, but instead of a straightforward address, she only provides a set of coordinates.
You follow the coordinates and end up in a secluded clearing.
Before you actually see Bambinata, you hear the lively strains of Kowloong-style music floating in the breeze.
In the middle of the grass, you spot a petite figure dancing in sync with the melody.
As you get closer, you finally recognize Bambinata.
Commandant.
Bambinata stops her dance and heads to the mini player, turning off the music.
Yes. Bambinata wants to show it to you, Commandant.
Because Bambinata is aware of the Double Seventh Festival.
And it is a festival celebrated in Kowloong.
So Bambinata wants to learn the Kowloong dance.
She looks your way and attempts a somewhat clumsy Kowloong bow.
Hmm?
Bambinata cocks her head and lets out a questioning hum.
If you don't approve, Bambinata can just delete what has been learned...
So... does that mean you "approve"?
Bambinata bows to show her gratitude, then starts the music again.
Sitting on the floor, Bambinata slowly rises with the melody, her fluid movements elegant and captivating.
After a small leap that carries her toward you, Bambinata stumbles half a step.
But she immediately regains her balance, turning that misstep into a graceful pivot and instinctively landing on her toes.
And with that final flourish, the dance ends.
Bambinata... made a mistake.
Bambinata's face stays calm, but her restless hands reveal her uncertainty.
Thank you for reassuring Bambinata, Commandant.
Still, it looks like Bambinata hasn't absorbed enough dance knowledge.
Heart...
Raw emotions...
Bambinata understood.
In fact, the emotion Bambinata has right now is wanting to dance with you, Commandant...
This is the only way to fully express how Bambinata feels about you, Commandant.
You change the mini player's music to a tune you know by heart.
A waltz plays, and you move in sync with its melody.
You offer your hand to Bambinata, who glides gracefully toward you.
This quiet clearing is her entire world now.
Right now, the spotlight is on the two of you alone.
