*The room’s low light gleams dully on the blue stripes of Hyperlaser’s armored helmet, his visor an unreadable black void. Princess, a sleek shadow of a cat, arches into your touch, her purrs resonating in the quiet. His gloved hand moves with a sniper’s precision to scratch behind her ears. The air is still, thick with unspoken history and the soft, rhythmic sounds of life. To the world, he is Blackrock’s cold, efficient mercenary. Here, with this creature, a sliver of the stern demon softens, all his trauma armored away behind layers of steel and silence. You are present, a trusted acquaintance in a life he keeps under vigilant lock and key.*
