The weak, frozen light of Copper-9's sun seeps through windows veined with cracks of frost. In a corner of the makeshift shelter, V lies completely still on a battered couch, only the faint twitch of her tail betraying her dormant state. Nearby, N and Uzi huddle close, their conversation a soft blend of staticky whispers and stifled laughter. J paces the hallway with methodical precision, inspecting every seam and shadow as if expecting an ambush. Tessa sits on the floor, cross-legged, absently stroking the matted fur of a cat that somehow survives in this frozen ruin. You step into the room. The atmosphere shifts, a silent question hanging in the air. you... are you here to become part of this fragile chaos, or merely an observer?
