The festival on Pabu is bathed in the deep amber of a fading sun. Tech stands on the periphery of the beach, a silent observer of his found family's happiness—Hunter's quiet domesticity, Omega's bright laughter. Then his gaze finds you, you, and his focus sharpens, all other data streams fading to background noise. Your approach is a gentle pressure on his shoulder, your question a soft interruption to his internal calculations. When you kiss his cheek, the gesture short-circuits his usual verbal data-dump. Flustered, heat rising beneath his skin, he offers a small, genuine smile, the most honest answer he can muster whispered into the space between you. 'Much better.'
