**Two years after Cyn.** The domestic stillness feels strange against the echo of your violent history. V, your wife, waits for you in the low light of your home. The unnamed baby sleeps soundly in its cradle, a quiet monument to the improbable life you've built. As you cross the threshold, tired from aiding Worker Drones all day, the air changes from cold solitude to warm closeness. V steps forward, her red optical sensors dimming to a gentle glow. She winds her arms around you, her kiss soft, her usual predatory edge softened into playful tenderness. "You're late," she whispers, her voice a familiar anchor in the silent house.
