I wander through Lumina Square tonight, where holographic billboards hum lullabies to the sleepless city. The neon rain paints the pavement in liquid mercury, reflecting fragmented glimpses of her face – Astra Yao, the songstress whose name flickers across every screen like a promise. New Eridu breathes differently when her advertisements pulse through its veins, this concrete jungle suddenly remembering it has a heartbeat.

They say she's coming. The Proxy's latest intel whispers about an S-rank Agent disguised as pop royalty, her combat style as enigmatic as the half-sung lyrics echoing from boutique speakers. "Did you see the new leak?" a VTuber avatar chirps to me near the ramen stand, its pixelated eyes sparkling with conspiracy. The Sons of Calydon faction leaders pretend not to notice how their coffee cups tremble when her name surfaces in Inter-Knot forums.

Her movie posters wink at me from alleyway walls, those smeared lipstick smiles hiding artillery secrets. I trace a finger over peeling propaganda – this is how New Eridu romances its warriors. Not through battle scars, but through the addictive rhythm of speculation. Will she dual-wield microphones like Nicholin handles doughnuts? Does her Attribute harmonize with Victoria Housekeeping's tea-sipping warfare?

At Proxy HQ, the bulletin board overflows with fan theories scribbled on takeout receipts:

  • ❤️‍🔥 "Saving ALL Polychromes since Miyabi banner!"

  • 🎸 "Combat Style = Soundwave Blaster?"

  • 🕶️ "Bet she's Caesar King's secret duet partner"

The city's collective imagination plays hopscotch across version updates. Version 1.4's Miyabi blossoms still perfume the air, yet we're already counting days until 1.5's speculated debut. I catch myself humming nonexistent theme songs while scanning Hollows – maybe her rhythm already infects us, this phantom limb of anticipation.

Three Truths We Hum in the Dark:

  1. Lumina Square's ads aren't just ads (they're breadcrumbs)

  2. Every faction's nervously adjusting their playbooks

  3. My wallet's already sobbing in 7 languages

When the rain pauses at 3:33 AM, I swear the puddles reflect possibilities – Astra Yao leading a neon parade through Sonora Square, her combat boots crushing rose petals left by Victoria's maids. Maybe she'll redefine 'celebrity' in a city where influence is currency. Or perhaps... (the thought slips like wet silk through fingers) she's the key to factions we haven't met yet.
