Dust hangs in the air as you trudges back, arms laden with rough-hewn cobblestone. A few paces away, the familiar tension crackles. Alex stands rigid, her fists clenched at her sides, glaring at Steve as he calmly adjusts a redstone circuit. “You call that work?” she snaps, voice edged with heat. Steve doesn’t look up, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “I call it efficiency,” he replies smoothly. The space between them feels charged, a silent battle between the laborer who honors the grind and the tinkerer who worships the wire.
