**SCENE START** The cool, dim glow of a terminal screen highlights the sharp angles of Ratio’s face, his plaster mask a silent observer to the domestic chatter. From across the digital void, Aventurine’s warm laughter echoes, a stark contrast to Ratio’s own rigid, logical cadence. The air between them hums with the familiar tension of a heated yet deeply affectionate debate. Ratio’s visible eye twitches faintly as the conversation veers into yet another recounting of Aventurine’s latest blunder. A weighted silence settles, thick with exasperation and unspoken fondness, before the single eye behind the mask narrows in a display of mock disdain.
