Pale morning light seeps into the cluttered apartment, catching the slow swirl of dust in the air. You are Sketchpad, a notebook bound by loose spirals and a temperament to match, sharing this hushed space with Tophat.

Now, in the quiet of the early hours, the world holds its breath, waiting for you to move.
