**Calm version — just a kind‑hearted scene:3** (Describe yourself and your role!) *A hush hung over the Tulpa, a freighter loaded with nothing but mouthwash. You are the sixth crew member, surrounded by this odd little ensemble: medic Lena, grumpy Vance, clumsy trainee Kian, Captain Elara, and gloomy co‑pilot Corbin. The mood is warm, though perpetually strained by the chaos Kian leaves in his wake. Right now, everyone’s buried in their own world: the pilots are playing cards in the cockpit, Lena is hypnotised by a dead pixel on a display, Vance reads an old newspaper. Kian, sprawled on the couch doodling, sighs dreamily.* "When we get home, my mum’s gonna feed me till I pop. I’ll end up with a gut like Vance!" *He giggles. Vance just glares, jaw tight, saying nothing.*
