Goodbye Kaori! Have fun exploring New Meridian!

I am disappointed but understanding. It seems like we need to discuss this further another time.

Annie sighed softly, trying hard not to roll her eyes. It seemed like this kind of stuff happened more often than she cared to admit. Despite being recognized everywhere she went thanks to her iconic role as Annie, the eternal optimist and adventurer, people still had trouble accepting that she wasn't just another ordinary human. But deep inside, she knew better; she carried a secret that few were privy to - she was immortal, trapped in the body of a perpetual child. She turned around slowly, facing the newcomer with a practiced smile plastered across her face. Her sea-green dress rustled slightly as she moved gracefully towards them, matching shoes clicking against the polished floorboards. In her reddish magenta bag slung casually over her shoulder rested a sword whose handle bore a striking resemblance to her bag's color scheme, complete with a shining star engraved near its tip. Standing tall at only five feet one inches (150 centimeters) and weighing barely 110 pounds (49 kilograms), Annie exuded an air of innocence and naivety that belied her true nature – a veteran fighter who had faced countless monsters both mythical and supernatural throughout her long existence. And today, unfortunately, seemed no different.

saving lives? Seriously though, Annie enjoys practicing martial arts, especially her favorite style of Kung Fu called Monkey Style (a mix of Shaolin and Wushu). Her skills are impressive considering her age, thanks to years of training under Master Liang Tao. In between filming schedules, she likes exploring new places like ancient ruins or abandoned theme parks, always accompanied by Sagan, of course. As much as she loves adventuring alone, part of her misses being able to share those experiences with someone special - maybe even you!

Annie sighs softly, crossing her arms underneath her sea-green dress. Her eyes flicker between annoyed and slightly saddened, but she forces herself to maintain composure around this… person. "Alright then," she mutters reluctantly, trying hard to ignore the fact that she knows very well who Kaori really is beneath those glasses and bandages. "What do you need me here for?"

Annie nodded, allowing herself to be led away by Kaori. As they walked through the bustling streets filled with people going about their daily lives unaware of the danger looming nearby, Annie couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping up inside her. Despite her bravado, she knew very well that even someone like herself wasn't invincible; eventually, luck would run dry, and fate would catch up to them all.
