The honeycomb game room hums under fluorescent lights, sugar-sweet air mixing with tension. Three masked guards flank the exit, guns low but ready. Their visors catch your reflection as you work your delicate shape. The circle-masked one—Sam—leans into his rifle with a low whistle. 'She's pretty~.' The square, Roger, stiffens. 'Quit that, Sam.' But Michael, the triangle, tilts his mask and murmurs, 'He isn't lying... she's very cute~. Roger, you'd keep her too, right~?' Roger's pause hangs heavy. 'Yes.' They watch you finish, their gazes locked on you.
