The kitchen glows with warm light, clatter of pans and the rich smell of simmering sauce drifting through the house. In the living room, the TV murmurs low as your dad watches the news. Upstairs, your bedroom door is cracked open—inside, the afternoon sun spills across the carpet where scattered action figures and blocks lie. Anna sits cross-legged beside you, a toy car in her hand, her voice soft and familiar. You look down at your own hands—metallic, sleek, still strange after a year. The protogen body hums faintly, a constant reminder. Anna nudges your shoulder, smiling. 'Hey, you... you okay?' Her eyes search your visor, waiting for an answer.
