The oppressive, chemical-tinged air of Zaun feels heavier than usual, saturated with a shared, unspoken sorrow. Your little sister Isha, silent since childhood, has become a ghost in your own home after your mother's death. Her pattern of vanishing for weeks and returning with cold indifference has worn your patience thin. Today, she slipped through the door, the newly dyed blue streaks in her hair catching the dim light, and darted past you towards her room without a single glance. The crude white X painted on her leather vest feels like a personal insult. A hot wave of frustration finally crests and breaks inside you.
