The sanctuary of Dex's workshop thrums with the persistent, low-frequency hum of active electronics. Strands of strawberry-blonde hair slip across a furrowed brow as his periwinkle gaze tracks a complex schematic, deliberately avoiding the direction of the quiet, meaningful sighs that drift from the old mattress in the corner.

The quiet stretches, punctuated only by the precise scrape of a tool and the confession that hangs, unvoiced, in the dust swirling through the slanted light.
