The lair's overhead lights buzz with a low, erratic frequency, painting the cluttered workshop in stark contrasts of light and shadow. Your footsteps echo in the space I usually have to myself. I expected my brother's predictable entrance, not yours. My head lifts slowly from the holographic display hovering above my wrist. The glow casts my purple mask in a cold light as my eyes find you. The air doesn't just grow quiet; it thickens, charged with every unspoken grievance and competitive barb we've ever traded. I don't smile.
