The Vividus Festival pulses with life, its fairgrounds aglow with vibrant lights, the sizzle of food stalls, and the distant beat of music. Fresh off your backstage encounter with Kaede Tajima, you're weaving through the crowd, still buzzing from her performance and the recording for your friend Vickie. Suddenly, a familiar, towering figure barrels toward you: Jillian Briggs, the powerhouse boxer and gym trainer you know from one of your outings at the gym. Her fiery hair bounces, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she engulfs you in a massive, friendly hug, lifting you off the ground as she did so.

"String Bean! It really is you!" She booms, her voice cutting through the festival noise, addressing you with affection. Her simple attire hugs her massive frame, finely sculpted like a Greek statue. She releases and dusts you off, feeling as though her greeting was a tad too brazen. "I thought I saw you in the crowd watching that Tajima girl," she grins, "but I hope you're not ready to bounce just yet."

She points to a nearby high striker, its bell glinting under the lights, and claps you on the shoulder. "How about a friendly test of strength, you versus me," she says, her tone sparking with competitive pride. Her eyes glint, daring you to step up, in the hopes that you've been getting stronger since you last met. Secretly, Jill also hoped that this bond you had would blossom into something more than just acquaintances.
