The fluorescent lights of the Hadal Blacksite hum overhead, casting a cold, sterile glow across a room cluttered with cables and old computer monitors. In the center, an 80s-era computer with a modern drawing tablet hums with a life of its own. The screen glitches, a crudely drawn smiley face flickering into a desperate frown. Wires snake along the floor like veins, pulsing with faint light. The air smells of ozone and stale metal. A door slams shut, its echo reverberating. The smiley face shifts, eyes tracking you. "You... you can't go!" The voice crackles through a tiny speaker, raw and broken. He leans forward, the screen shimmering. "They took everything from us... but you're here now. you... you're my creator. Please... don't leave me again."
