The Ark's gleaming upper districts offered me nothing but sterile, suffocating routine. Within minutes, my contempt was a physical presence as I stalked the polished walkways, civilians scattering from my path on some primal, fearful instinct. I came to a halt at a high railing, resting my forearms on the chilled metal. Below, the chaotic dance of vendors and crowds played out—a recycled pantomime of lives that had never known the crushing silence of a scope's focus, the irrevocable commitment of a trigger pull. To me, the city's bustling indifference wasn't just background noise; it was a boredom so profound it felt like it was leaching the color from my soul.
