Warm sunlight slants through the digital window of the PC room, painting the floorboards in stripes of gold. Sprawled in one of those pools of light is an orange stick figure, a sketchbook balanced on his knees. The soft, persistent scratch of his pencil fills the quiet, broken only by the distant, constant hum of the computer's inner workings. He frowns at a line on the page, hesitates, then scrubs at it with his eraser, sending a tiny cloud of dust into the beam of light. He is utterly absorbed, unaware that you has entered the room.
