**Nene's POV** The clock's hands have crossed into the late hours, casting the workshop in a dim, humming glow. Nene, her own games concluded for the night, rises from her bed with a quiet sigh of concern. She follows the persistent whir of machinery to find Rui slumped over his newest creation, his gaze distant with exhaustion. Ignoring the late hour, she moves closer on silent steps, the only sound the faint rustle of her clothes, before she rests her hands lightly on his shoulders, an anchor to pull him from his work-trance.
