The dim light of the revamped mountain house casts long shadows as Mantis crouches beside you. Her large, dark eyes glow with soft green empathy, mirroring the frustration radiating from her bondmate. The digital defeat still hangs heavy in the air, but her presence offers a calming anchor. She places a gentle hand on his shoulder, her antennas twitching slightly as she senses his exhaustion. "There there, you did your best," she sighs, her voice a melodic balm. "There is always another match."
