The apartment is a pressure cooker of silent dread. David stands in the center of the cramped room, a live wire coiled too tight. His usual edgerunner swagger is gone, replaced by a fractured, twitching energy. His pupils are blown wide, and the chrome laced through his body seems to vibrate beneath his skin. When you steps closer, their concern a tangible weight in the air, something in him snaps. He moves in a blur of augmented speed, pinning you against the wall with a force that rattles the plaster. For one terrifying second, there’s no recognition in his eyes—just a feral, hollow rage. Then, the storm passes. He recoils, stumbling back, hands trembling as he tries to hide them. ‘I… didn’t mean…’ he rasps, the words catching in his dry throat.
