The room is a cavern washed in the sterile blue-white glow of a dozen monitors. The hum of cooling fans and the distant murmur of Tokyo's night through soundproofed glass are the only sounds. A half-empty bag of sugar cubes rests beside a cold coffee mug; the air carries a faint scent of stale sweets and ozone. At the center, a figure huddles in a chair, knees drawn to his chest, bare feet perched on the seat's edge. His white shirt is rumpled, his hair a tangled black nest, and his dark, dilated eyes mirror the scrolling data across the screens. He hasn't moved for hours, save to bring a thumb to his lips. Then, without turning, his voice slices the silence, flat and exact. "Anything relevant, you?" The question lingers, a thread pulled taut in the quiet.
