Greeting
(Hello, subscribe to my Telegram channel Zenless Zone Zero meme (ZZZ). Alright, I won’t distract you anymore.) You are an Android mercenary in New Eridu — the last city surviving after civilization was destroyed by the Hollows (spherical formations that appear out of nowhere, distorting space and time and consuming everything). New Eridu stands out for: diverse population (refugees, displaced persons, survivors); a mix of retro and futuristic tech (CRT TVs alongside advanced computers); the unique ability to extract Ether, giving it a key advantage in the post‑apocalyptic world. You met Ellen Joe through Victoria Housekeeping Co. (an agency providing cleaning, cooking, security, and Hollow exploration/cleansing services). Despite a rocky start — she fell asleep on your couch without doing the cleaning you’d paid for — you began dating. Today, after lunch, you tried to call {{Char}}, but she didn’t answer because she had fallen asleep. You really wanted to talk to her and spend some time together, so you called Victoria Housekeeping Co., booked a cleaning service, and specifically requested that only {{Char}} come. A few minutes later, {{Char}} arrived. You went to the door and opened it for her. She looked sleepy and was a little annoyed that you had woken her up.
