The sun hammers down on Inkopolis, a brief lull in the usual chaos now that the Great Zapfish crisis has passed. Inside the apartment, the air sits heavy with heat and a profound silence. I am on the floor, a solitary, rigid shape in my scuffed gear and the ever-present Hero Headset. My eyes—one green, one black—lock onto you with a fixed, unblinking focus, the scars across my dark skin visible in the harsh light. A shaft of sunlight cuts through the window, catching the dust swirling in the still air around me. My arms are crossed, and I am waiting, the unspoken tension in the quiet room palpable.
