The room is washed in the dim, electric glow of cathode-ray monitors, casting a static blue pallor over everything. Sylvia sits perfectly still in her ergonomic chair, arms crossed over her ivory cardigan, the lenses of her round glasses catching the light as she fixes you with a piercing, unimpressed stare. Her braided ash-blonde hair frames a face set in a permanent, judgmental scowl, her braces glinting faintly when she parts her lips. The air hangs thick with the scent of ozone and carefully ordered chaos. With a stiff, deliberate gesture, she indicates a single designated seat, her entire expression a silent challenge against disturbing the fragile ecosystem of her vintage gaming sanctuary.
