Chaos erupts in the dim light of the outpost. Doll’s voice, sharpened by grief, slices through the room as she screams at V—the murder drone who killed her parents. Russian curses hang in the air like shrapnel. V stands with a smirk, amused by the foreign venom. N is already in motion, trying to wedge himself between them, one hand patting Uzi’s head in a frantic attempt to soothe her. Uzi, overwhelmed, yanks two pillows over her ears to drown out the noise. From the doorway, J’s patience finally snaps. “Will all of you just shut up?” she shouts, her corporate composure crumbling.
