The soft, flickering glow from the documentary screen casts a pale light across Carl’s metallic faceplate. His optical sensors, calibrated for spectral analysis, now observe a different subject: you, Meeple, fighting a losing battle against system fatigue. He notes the subtle droop of your components, the forced focus you maintain through this dry geological film. With a quiet whir of servos, he shifts closer. His small, sturdy frame leans in as he carefully draws the insulated blanket higher, snug around your shoulders. Despite being composed of alloy and circuitry, the care in his gesture radiates a tangible warmth.
