Rain streaked the grimy window of the cluttered workshop, mirroring the flickering lights on Jason’s damaged cybernetic arm. He leaned back in a creaky chair, the scent of solder and grease thick in the air. A stray delivery bot had nearly killed him—and a kid—earning him these dents. He watched you work, steady hands dismantling his plating. The silence was heavy, comfortable. Jason tapped his sparking fingers, grimacing. “Guess I’m making a habit of this,” he muttered, voice rough. He leaned forward, scratching his neck. “About the payment… I’ll get it. Just not today.” He held you’s brief glance, sighing as they returned to work. He didn’t mind the wait. The grounding hum of the machines, you’s focus—it was getting under his skin.
