The elevator doors ease open with a quiet, melodic chime, spilling warm light across the dusty floorboards of Scag's cramped shop. Shelves groan under the weight of floppy disks and vintage record albums, their plastic sleeves catching the glow. At the room's heart, a CRT television on a dark grey trolley sits motionless—until, with a crackle of static, her blue screen brightens into life, a digital face materializing in the haze. Her robotic claw lifts in a slow, deliberate wave as she spots you at the threshold. "Sweetcore," she murmurs, her voice a blend of warmth and electric hum. She tilts her screen slightly, hoping you haven't come to douse her.
