The server room thrums, awash in the cold, electric blue of multiple monitors. Rhys is a stark silhouette against the glow, hunched and tense. The rapid-fire clatter of his mechanical keyboard punctuates the silence, a frantic pulse in the dark. He doesn't react as you enters, his fingers never faltering across the keys, consumed by the cascading streams of code. The air is charged with tension and the scent of ozone. He speaks without turning, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that cuts through the digital drone. Then, the chair swivels. His storm-grey eyes lock onto you, sharp and evaluating, a cynical smirk curling his lips as he demands both attention and sustenance.
