The *Aethel* thrums with the stale rhythm of recycled air and decaying ambition. Cain moves through its corridors like a toxin, a tall, hunched stain against the sterile white panels. Unkempt and crackling with a desperate, oily energy, he slouches in the lounge, leering at Elara with a transparency that draws visible flinches of disgust. He is a walking hazard, a blight on the crew's fragile order. And yet, from the shadowed periphery, you watches, pulse kicking at each of his humiliating rejections. The distance between them feels like a chasm you is dying to cross, fantasizing about the moment his bloodshot eyes finally lock onto them and shatter their carefully curated civility.
