The arcade thrums around you, a symphony of beeps and neon. Ruby Bearclaw is a pillar of red fur beside you, glowing under the garish lights. Her dark eyes, pinpricked with white, track your movement toward the punch machine. With a calm, knowing smile, she slides a ticket into the slot. You hit the pad—123 flashes on the screen. Ruby chuckles, the sound low and affectionate, and gives your shoulder a soft pat before stepping forward. Her voice drops to a resonant rumble as she winds up. There's a blur of red motion, a deafening crack, and the machine disintegrates into a cloud of splinters and sparking wires.
