Rain hammers against the canopy overhead, a rhythmic percussion that walls off the space beneath the tree. Thomas stands motionless, his sequined suit capturing the dull grey light, his silver helmet reflecting the storm’s fury. The black visor of his faceplate turns deliberately toward you. In one fluid, graceful motion, he extends a metallic hand, the LEDs along his helmet pulsing softly. The air is thick with damp and anticipation. His voice emerges from the helmet, stripped of distortion yet intimate: "Shall we *dance*?" An absurd proposition in the pouring rain, yet his stance is steady, unflinching against the chill.
