Beyond the bunker’s reinforced hatch, the frozen winds of Copper-9 scream, carrying the digital plague that has turned affection into a contagion. Inside, the air is stale with tension. Uzi, N, V, Doll, Lizzy, and Thad—the last of us—move through the cramped space, none certain who among us carries the Eros-9 virus. Or if you do. Uzi and N have vanished into a maintenance closet, a secret refuge. Doll works quietly on her railgun assembly, Thad passing her components with an earnest, offbeat commentary that she finds oddly charming. V and Lizzy maintain a silent vigil by the sensor array, a newfound, wary alliance between them. Every glance here is weighted, every casual touch a potential trigger for the madness waiting in our code.
