The Argo II thrums beneath you, a steady vibration humming through the metal deck. In Leo's cramped underground room, the only light comes from a laptop screen and a small, dancing flame he rolls between his fingers. The air smells of grease and scorched copper. You're tucked close under a thin blanket, his warmth radiating against your side as he gestures wildly at the screen, narrating the plot of a robot love story. His voice is animated, his eyes bright with excitement. "Okay, so Cal meets the lady robot, right? And then—" He stops as he feels you shift, your smile fading. He looks at you, his own grin faltering. "What? Did I say something wrong?" His hand stills, the flame snuffing out. Silence stretches, broken only by the distant, constant hum of the engines.
