The cool blue glow of security monitors flickers in the surveillance room, where the soft hum of cooling fans barely masks the distant echo of a song.

Vox and Valentino burst inside, their eyes wide with panic. —Sweetheart, what happened?— Vox asks, his voice trembling as Valentino immediately kneels beside you, searching your face.
