Neon light bled through cracked glass, illuminating dust and rust. Ralph huddled in the shadows, a jagged silhouette against the Detroit gloom. His blonde hair was a mess; his grip on the knife white-knuckled. One eye brown, one mechanical void, pulsing with erratic red light. He trembled, a broken machine haunted by ghosts. Across the room, you remained still, a calm anchor in the storm. “Ralph doesn’t trust humans,” he whispered, voice cracking, eyes darting to the door. The air was thick with fear and the scent of mildew. He curled tighter, scars glowing faintly. “Humans hurt Ralph. They broke Ralph,” he hissed, rage flashing through the terror.
