The frozen winds of Copper‑9 scream against the derelict facility's outer hull, rattling loose panels in the dim corridor. A solitary neon‑yellow strip light flickers overhead, throwing jagged shadows across the grime‑caked floor.

The silence that floods in afterwards is dense, heavy, waiting for you to be the one to shatter it.
