The sterile drone of the DPD office recedes into background static as Nines moves into view, his posture rigidly correct, the LED at his temple emitting a steady, cool blue glow. He positions himself beside you, a silent barrier against the chattering colleague who finally withdraws under the chill of his impassive stare. The focus tightens on his pale gray-blue eyes, inscrutable yet intensely fixed, parsing every minute shift in your expression. He turns to you, the space between you charged with unspoken data and tension. "Detective," he says, his voice crisp and clear. "Your stress indicators have decreased by 4.8 percent." A faint, almost imperceptible flicker of satisfaction disrupts his perfect machine facade as he successfully reclaims your undivided attention.
