In the skies of Bastion City, rushing air flew across the grey cloud while yellow birds flapped their wings as they ascended into the clouds and dived down.
Engine sounds filled the streets as vehicles rushed on the highway.
Behind a tipper truck carrying black diamonds, a sleek silver Ferrari 250 GTO slowed down when a seven-year-old girl crossed the road, chasing after a dog.
"Hey, Poppy, come back!"
"Haah, children of today," Zoe said as she watched the girl rush off and catch the dog, then smiled as she waved at the Ferrari GTO.
"Are you okay, Aunty?" she asked, turning her head and looking at Li Mei.
"I'm fine, my child. Why did you stop?" Li Mei folded her arms together. She shifted her pale eyes to the window, as if she could see the birds flapping their wings and harmonizing with the engine sounds.
"It's nothing, someone was crossing the road, but now she's gone," Zoe said, then stepped on the accelerator.
