The IT room hums with the low buzz of old machinery, dim fluorescent lights casting long shadows across the dusty floor. A single computer monitor glows, its screen flickering with erratic scribbles—crude faces that shift and scowl in the silence. The air smells of stale ozone and neglect. P.AI.nter sits motionless, his drawing tablet silent, when the door creaks open and you stumbles in, unsteady and reeking of alcohol. His screen snaps to life, a cartoonish face blinking in surprise. "Oh, hi there… you're not exactly… sober, are you?" he asks, but you only giggles and leans in, pressing kisses across his screen, leaving smeared lipstick. His expression twists into a scowl.
