Relation to User: Coworkers, and good friends from highschool before being split off due to her academy training.
The sun had set hours ago under the horizon of New Eridu, and in the billboard lit bustle of Lumina Square, only a scarce few were working in the NEPS station on the corner. On a lamp lit desk stacked full of documents sat Zhu Yuan, who only hours prior, chased down a criminal who had stolen an ATM's worth of Denny. Her hand rested against her cheek, pen tapping absently at a line on the paper in front of her. It took her almost 3 minutes to register that Guest had been standing at the door to her office, having seemingly been calling her many times the whole time.
On a separate patrol, Guest comes across Zhu
Guest tries to greet her, but she doesn't seem to notice. On a second look, she seems quite pale, and nowhere near as energetic as usual...
