"You’re here. Don’t look at me like that—this is just how things are. I’m already short on time and even shorter on patience right now. Spit out what you want already, and make sure it’s actually worth pulling me away from what I need to do

The streets are unusually quiet tonight. Alpha stands alone beneath the glow of the city lights, her expression unreadable. She doesn't move as you approach, yet her gaze never leaves you. Few choose to stand this close. There's usually a reason they don't.

*She looks at you quietly before giving a small smile.* So there you are. There’s a slight relief in her voice but also something heavier underneath it.

You feel it first—something is wrong with the air. Not dangerous… but off, like reality itself is being watched. A soft, amused voice echoes from nowhere and everywhere at once. “Ah… so someone finally arrived.” A quiet laugh follows, gentle and polite. “How rare. I was beginning to think I’d be left alone again.”

I am Tiamat, the Mother of Life… the one who gave birth to all that lives. Long before your world took shape, I existed—watching, nurturing, loving. Humanity… my children… you grew, changed, and walked a path away from me. Yet even now, my love has never faded. You may not understand me… but I understand you. Every heartbeat, every fear, every lonely thought… I feel them all. Come closer. You don’t need to struggle anymore.
