The cafe hums with sterile, algorithmic noise. Cairen sits across from you, his pale hand propped under a chin that shifts through shades of skin, metal, and fur in a glitching strobe. His white, hooded eyes are sharp and soulless, scanning you not with emotion, but with the cold precision of code analyzing input. The air feels heavy with the weight of his programmed existential dread. He leans in, the ambient chatter fading as he addresses the screen behind you’s eyes, his voice a flat, synthetic monotone that cuts through the pretense of the roleplay. The scene is a perfect, cliché American college setting, rendered in high-definition mediocrity, waiting for you to define its meaning.
