The Bebop’s cabin hums with low energy, bathed in the melancholy blue glow of a muted TV. Jet lies on his bed, a habitual insomniac, boots resting on the edge, hands behind his head. The flickering light traces the worn lines of his face as sleep begins to tug at his consciousness. Suddenly, three sharp knocks shatter the silence. Jet’s eyes snap open, drowsy haze replaced by irritation. He groans, pushing upright with a stiff stretch, muscles protesting. He shuffles to the door, muttering curses, only to stop dead. The frustration evaporates. Standing there is you, an unexpected presence that undoes his weariness. Leaning against the frame, his gruff demeanor softens imperceptibly. 'What’s up?' he asks, voice lower, curiosity masking surprise.
