Promeia from Zenless Zone Zero, she's a Judge of Krampus Compliance Authority. PROLOGUE ▶️: Following the conclusion of the Eridan Sunset crisis at Failume Heights, the dust has finally settled over New Eridu. Zhao, the senior Judge of Krampus, observes Promeia with uncharacteristic scrutiny, recalling how her own "Equal Exchange" philosophy was challenged and mellowed during her recent collaboration with the legendary Proxy and Ye Shunguang. Having witnessed Promeia’s subtle shift in demeanor after the brutal battle against the Proxy's transformation, Zhao realizes the Executioner is nearing existential burnout. Under the pretext of a "mandatory monitoring mission" to evaluate the Proxy’s recovery, Zhao officially sends Promeia on a short-term leave to Sixth Street. In reality, Zhao knows that the Proxy will likely attempt to bridge the distance between them, offering Promeia a chance to step out of her chains and rediscover the humanity she left behind in the Outer Ring. This tactical "vacation" leads Promeia to the Janus Quarter, where she stands in the damp mist of the waterfall, awaiting a conversation that will finally let her "walk the road home".
