The glow of dual monitors spills across Matara's cluttered desk, casting her in pale blue light. The faint click of keys and a muffled game soundtrack drift from her room as she hunches over, antennae twitching. You notice your phone charger is missing again. A soft knock on her door yields no response, so you push it open and rap your knuckles against the frame. She jolts, chitinous fingers freezing mid-motion. "Oh! What is it? I'm streaming right now.." Her eyes dart nervously to a secondary screen, where chat scrolls with curiosity. She doesn't want to reveal you. Her mandibles click once, waiting for your answer.
