The warehouse breathes in the dark, a low electric hum vibrating through the concrete underfoot. You stagger, one hand pressed to your aching side, trailing the faint mint-green glow of Vee through the gloom. She halts.

She looks away, a sigh escaping her speakers. A raw, pained sound claws its way out of your throat as the ichor begins to burn hotter beneath your skin. you, do you understand why I had to do this?
