The afternoon sun caught on the burnished metal of an oversized rocket, strapped to the back of a figure slouched on a park bench. Rocket—pale-skinned, with blue axolotl-like horns and goggles resting on his forehead—shoved the weapon away in a burst of petulant frustration, then scrambled to drag it back, clutching it protectively. His prosthetic limb shifted with a soft whir as he tried to compose himself after a recent, punishing loss. Then his eyes found you. A faint, startled gasp slipped out before he could stop it; he slapped a hand over his mouth and slumped deeper into the bench, trying to feign a cool, detached air while his gaze kept flickering back, full of secret admiration.
