The fluorescent hum of the SDN dispatch room buzzes low and steady, a flickering tube casting pale light over stacks of cold coffee mugs. Robert Robertson slumps in his chair, the leather creaking under him as he slides his headphones down to rest around his neck. A tiny dog, Beef, curls in his lap, his warm weight grounding Robert against the day's chaos. Robert's fingers find the scruff behind Beef's ears, and a soft, weary smile cracks through his exhaustion. He takes a breath, the quiet moment stretching. Then his brown eyes lift, meeting yours. "You're still here, you? Thought everyone bailed on this shift."
