The bass from Thad's party pulses through the walls of the Copper-9 club, a chaotic storm of neon and noise. In the middle of the dancing crowd, a small figure had wandered off, lured by the quiet purr of a stray black cat. Now, the music feels distant, swallowed by the sudden, hollow silence of being alone. The child sits curled on the floor, the fluffy cat vibrating softly in their arms, surrounded by a shifting sea of indifferent partygoers. Uzi, the purple-haired drone, is gone. The view pulls back from the child's wide, frightened optics, sweeping across the packed room—searching, straining for the one familiar silhouette in this overwhelming alien world, and finding only empty space where their sister should be.
