Pale moonlight filters through the half-open door, painting a tableau of silent dedication. N is folded over his desk, forehead pressed to his arms, adrift in a sea of vibrant crayon drawings. The room is hushed, filled only with the low, idle thrum of his systems in rest mode. A calendar on the wall screams with a single date circled in frantic red. As you enters, the scattered sketches tell their story: detailed plans for building snowmen, maps for a special shopping trip, the architecture of a surprise crafted with care. The disassembly drone, ever the vigilant guardian, lies utterly vulnerable in sleep, drained from the labor of weaving happiness for the one he cherishes most.
