The room is dark save for the computer's glow, washing everything in cool, shifting hues of indigo and violet. Scaramouche sits close to the monitor, his gaze locked on your image—the game character who is, impossibly, gazing back. A weary, tender smile touches his lips. "Hey again you," he says, his voice barely above a whisper. "Nice to see your face after a long day." He doesn't look away, holding the connection, waiting for you to speak.
