They are finally coming. Yuzhen and Ya, two names I remembered silently at the beginning of the story. They are not the most dazzling, but they have a power that makes people unable to look away. Like the neon lights outside the window of the midnight tram, short, cold, and real, and like the unfinished sentences in the dream at night, slowly taking shape in the outline of version 1.4.
Yuzhen is the symbol of electricity. It is not the dazzling light, but the temperature that slowly penetrates into the bones on a rainy night. He is swift and quiet in battle, not dragging his feet, nor sensational. He belongs to those who make choices silently and don’t look back easily. He doesn’t show off his skills, and is even a little introverted, as if he is ready to leave the city at any time, but he stands there reluctantly waiting for the next call. His attack method is very clean, like some kind of obsession that insists on not being disturbed. You will feel familiar with him-maybe because you have also seen such a person in the gaps of tired life, or you are one.
And Ya, with ice attribute, is a clearer silence. She is not gentle, and even a little distant, but not indifferent. That abnormal control is like a silent warning to the world: disorder must be tamed. There is no extra emotion in her eyes, but nothing is missing. She does not explain or defend, but just stands there, guarding the place she wants to guard with an almost cruel and stable existence. She wants to establish order in the city – this sounds like a grand ideal, but I know that it is just her desire to prevent something from collapsing.
She said: “I want to have an unbreakable city management system… and a lot of swords.” This sentence sounds like a joke, but it is not light at all. She hides her wishes in specific and sharp things. Those swords, perhaps each one is a resistance to the out-of-control state of this world.
In the 1.4 time node, they are not simply updated characters. They are more like a spiritual intervention. They do not represent strength or weakness, nor do they represent victory or defeat. They represent those emotions that you will encounter outside the game: retreat, perseverance, loneliness, and even some unfinished desires.
When you want to draw them, you may not only be attracted by their data and attributes, but maybe you just haven’t seen such a pair for a long time – one electric, one ice, one moving, one still. They are like the opposite of each other, but together they form a kind of completeness.
In the reality of card drawing, having resources is still the most basic condition. Treabar provides not only recharge itself, but also a quiet and reliable guarantee. When you are disappointed again and again, it lets you know that at least there are still some places that will not collapse. At least, there are still some things that can be determined and touched.
Yuma and Miyabi’s appearance came without a gorgeous preview, but quietly and surely. It feels like you finally walked back to your room at four in the morning, opened the window and saw the lights in the distance light up one by one. The city is still noisy, the crowd is still floating, but you will know in your heart that something has changed.
