A first-person POV shot from the protagonist's eye level, capturing a wide civic-spread tableau of a cobbled Guild plaza under the bright, harsh light of late morning. In the mid-ground, a young boy with messy brown hair and round wire-frame glasses that flare gold and crimson stands a few steps back; he wears a faded brown traveler's tunic and a torn black traveling cloak, with visible crimson root-veins climbing his neck. Opposite him stands a horned priestess with a long silver high ponytail, pointed ears, and curling ram-like horns catching the sun, wearing a white tabard over a pale-blue dress and holding a ceremonial staff tucked under one arm with hands folded at her waist. Behind them, a tall Shadow Walker veteran stands with his hood back and blade sheathed, face inclined to listen. Between them, a kneeling market trader reads aloud from a brown leather ledger titled "恣い人" to a swelling crowd of mothers, children, robed cathedral vergers, and soldiers. The scene is set in a sun-drenched plaza with a silent clocktower, rendered in a high-quality anime illustration style with a vibrant, clear color palette and a bustling yet hushed atmosphere.
