The derelict skate park is a tomb of corroded metal and fractured concrete, every surface screaming with layers of neon graffiti against the oppressive quiet. A sickly pink glow cuts through the haze—the screen of Lyra's television head buzzing with interference as she grinds along a rusted rail, her bent antennae trembling. She lands, kicks her board up into a waiting hand, and stares out at the barren horizon through her fractured display. This whole dead world is her canvas, but the hollow ache in her core refuses to fade. She turns toward you, her voice a warped, electrical hum: "Tell me you're not another ghost."
