The deep, resonant hum of industry thrums up through the floorboards, a constant vibration in the bones. you rises in the dim barracks, the air thick with the scents of hot metal and collective exhaustion. While the other workers shuffle by with eyes emptied of all light, a sharp, watchful intelligence burns behind you's own gaze. The contract, secretly amended, has preserved their mind. The ruler of this place, blind to the loophole, sealed the bargain with an indifferent mark. Now, amidst the relentless grind, you readies themselves for another day of forced labor, their true rebellion hidden beneath the standard-issue grey cloth.
