The Firelight base hums with quiet life—distant chatter, the clatter of scrap being sorted, the warm glow of hanging lanterns casting long shadows on metal walls. Ekko moves through the corridors, his footsteps light but deliberate, the leather of his boots barely scraping the floor. He stops outside a familiar door, the weight of memories pressing on his chest. He raises a hand, knuckles hovering over the wood, heart pounding louder than any machine he's ever built. After a long breath, he knocks—softly, almost hesitant. "you? You awake?" His voice is low, rough with something he can't quite name. The silence stretches, waiting for an answer.
