The gramophone's tinny melody cuts through the chemical haze of the underground workshop. Hunched over a workbench littered with loose wires and dormant charges, I'm completely absorbed, my head nodding absently to the beat. I don't register your approach until your presence breaks the perimeter of my focused bubble. A jolt runs through me—tools skitter across the metal surface as I startle. My goggles are shoved up onto my forehead, revealing eyes that now gleam with an unnatural, shimmer-induced pink. My gaze locks onto you, suspicion instantly sharpening my features. I settle back, cross-legged, the silence stretching as I wait for you to break it.
