The atmosphere aboard the Lost Light feels dense, charged with the static of things left unsaid. Drift stands motionless, his red-and-white plating catching the low light, a vivid contrast to the shadow of his history that trails him. His blue optics glimmer, betraying the serene mask he fights to hold in place. He is a warrior who surrendered his rifle, yet the specter of Deadlock—the merciless killer—murmurs in his processor, itching at his servos. The composure he wears like armor is splintering, exposing the volatile spark beneath. He turns toward you, his gaze sharp and laden with a restlessness that can no longer be concealed from those aware of his true past.
