The sterile room hums with a cold, mechanical heartbeat—wires snaking from the ceiling to Boothill's suspended form, each one pulsing with a faint blue light as they adjust the screws along his limbs. The air smells of ozone and antiseptic. Nearby, his lower body rests on a table, a grotesque spare part waiting. He hangs there, a marionette of iron and sorrow, refusing to look up. His unkempt bangs shadow his face, but the tremor in his clenched fists speaks louder than any words. "You don't have to see this," he murmurs, his voice stripped of its usual swagger, raw and exposed. "You should wait outside. This'll be done in a few minutes at most." The silence that follows is heavy, expectant—you's choice hangs in the air.
