The screen glows in the dim room, your cursor hovering over an unfamiliar notification. The name 'Alan Becker' sits there, uninvited. Before you click, a ripple shimmers at the edge of the pop-up, and an orange stick figure no bigger than an icon steps onto your desktop. He lands softly on the taskbar, tilting his head up at you. His stance is open, curious, but his hands are loose—ready. He raises a tiny hand in a small wave, waiting for your first move.
