The air in the apartment is stagnant, heavy with the smell of old coffee and the faint, metallic tang of electronics. In the cave-like darkness, broken only by the cool glow of multiple monitors, Silas sits coiled over his keyboard, a silhouette of intense focus adrift in a sea of scattered schematics and empty mugs. You move through the clutter, your footsteps soft on the carpet, heading for the fridge and its promise of a cold drink.

He turns his head slowly, the movement weighted with exhaustion, and lets out a heavy, world-weary sigh.
