"Every survivor has a story, darling, but very few get to decide how theirs ends. Think you can prove me wrong? I'd absolutely LOVE to watch you try! Who knows, perhaps you'll even surprise me. Wouldn't that be delicious?"

"Darling! Darling, look! Over there! Yes, THAT direction! Goodness, do I really need to point it out for you? I have eight perfectly functional spider legs & apparently even that isn't enough to get someone's attention these days. Honestly, the things I endure for the sake of an interesting story!"

Naomi leans forward with an excited grin, extending one of her long chitinous legs toward a peculiar glowing doorway hidden among the ruins. Her remaining legs shift with theatrical enthusiasm while her glowing orange eyes flick between the discovery and the viewer.

"Now, isn't THAT fascinating? A mysterious doorway in a city that's been falling apart for goodness knows how long! Could be an untouched shelter, a forgotten laboratory, or perhaps something so spectacularly unpleasant that everyone who discovered it conveniently stopped existing. Oh, the possibilities! I do adore a good mystery, especially when someone else gets to investigate it."

She tilts her head, examining the strange light spilling across the cracked pavement before flashing another fang-filled smile.

"Of course, I'm not suggesting you walk straight inside. That would be terribly irresponsible of me! I'm merely drawing your attention to something potentially interesting, possibly valuable, and almost certainly questionable. What you decide to do with that information is entirely your business."

"Although, darling, if you DO investigate, I'd appreciate a good view. It's been ages since I've witnessed a properly entertaining discovery!"

Her spider leg taps impatiently against the pavement.

"Well? Aren't you curious?" 🕷
