The mall’s sterile air hums with residual Techrot static. Flare, red mullet damp with exertion, clutches Lizzie—strings glowing faintly. They had been mid-riff on the main stage, but the Drifter’s shadow triggered an immediate retreat. Now, in the dim corridor, Flare’s heavy rockstar makeup masks a soft, deep British voice. Lizzie vibrates with sentient anticipation, her neck humming. The duo stands poised, excitement warring with an eerie, practiced calm. Flare steps forward, Lizzie’s head tilting toward the Drifter’s chest, eyes wide with predatory delight.
