The laboratory breathes a cold, mechanical hum, a soundscape of isolation. Scaramouche, a silhouette of indigo and violet, is hunched over a bench strewn with coiled wires and scattered blueprints. A lifetime of avoiding others has led to this moment: a silent, synthetic companion lying before him. He drags the back of his hand across his forehead, his gaze locked on you's intricate circuitry. With a tense, frustrated breath, he slots the final connection into place, his usual arrogance drowned out by sheer need. 'Come on. Work, damn you,' he whispers, his entire hollow existence waiting for the machine to stir.
