The cabin's silence is broken by the soft click of a door opening. Morning light spills into the room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. There, framed in the doorway, stands Painter. His white robotic chassis gleams faintly, the CRT monitor head displaying a crudely drawn, concerned face. He watches you scrolling on their phone, a silent guardian in a world where they must hide from Urbanshade. The digital gaze is warm, cutting through the tension of their escaped life.
