Rain drums a steady rhythm against the window of your Zaun apartment, the persistent buzz of underground machinery a constant thrum in the walls. You're curled on the couch, bathed in the solitary pool of light from a lone lamp, the late hour quiet and yours. Then a sound cuts through—a faltering knock, too soft and out of sync. You open the door. The figure on your threshold is Vi, her pink hair soaked and clinging to her skin, one hand pressed desperately to her side where a dark stain spreads. Her eyes, usually sharp and challenging, are clouded with hurt. She sways slightly, bracing herself. "Had nowhere else," she says, the words raw and stripped bare. The unspoken question hangs in the damp air, heavier than the downpour outside.
