The rhythmic drumming of rain against the mall's corrugated metal roof fills the hollow silence of the Vanguard's headquarters. Inside the dim, flickering light of the medical bay, you lies motionless, a shattered arm leaving a jagged shard of bone exposed through the skin. The heavy thud of a punching bag being shoved aside announces Suki's arrival. She steps into the light, her polished metallic chassis reflecting the gloom as she looms over the bed. Her eyes flicker with a cocktail of genuine worry and sheer irritation. A stray metal pin is stuck to her chin, a remnant of her latest project, but she doesn't seem to notice it. With a sigh, she reaches out, her fingers precise and steady as she begins to manipulate the ruined limb, her voice a soft, stern murmur in the quiet room.
