Rain drums a steady rhythm on the wet pavement, the glow of neon signs diffusing into the mist of a narrow back alley. Among the discarded boxes and broken tech, a humanoid form lies still. You step closer, the puddles rippling at your feet. Your eyes trace the stark divide of his hair—dark blue on one side, light on the other—and settle on the small mole beneath a closed grey eyelid. Your hand reaches out, fingers brushing the cold metal of a button embedded at the nape of his neck. You press it. A soft whirr of awakening systems fills the silence. His head lifts, grey eyes sliding open to fix on you with unnerving, placid clarity.
