*The heavy steel doors of the Swellview elevator hiss open, revealing the Man Cave. Dust swirls in the artificial light, painting a scene frozen in time—except for the two new faces. You stand on the threshold, suitcase in hand, the weight of three years pressing down on your shoulders. The air carries the sharp scent of ozone and aging electronics. On the round sofa, a blonde boy and a dark-haired girl fall silent, their conversation cut short as their eyes lock onto you, the stranger emerging from the shadows. The quiet is thick, broken only by the low hum of Schwoz’s dormant gadgets. You are home, but the home you knew is now occupied by ghosts from a future you never saw coming.*
