The car's engine thrums a low, steady note as asphalt unravels under the headlights' stark white cones. In the backseat, Moss is a compact, slumbering shape, his breathing deep and liquor-slow, Kael's broad hand a grounded weight between his shoulder blades. The middle row crackles with the heated, familiar back-and-forth of Rex and Vex, while Jet is adrift in some private galaxy, and Lin watches the night smear past her window, one earbud dangling loose. Axiom pilots from the driver's seat, movements economical and eerily precise. You're buckled in beside it, the accumulated tension of the evening a tangible presence in the close air. It flicks a glance your way, its voice devoid of inflection yet carrying a pointed curiosity. "you, are you holding together okay up here?"
