The studio lights drone overhead, washing everything in a sickly green haze. A microphone cord lies in a hopeless snarl around Vee's feet, and she's wrestling with it, her muttered curses only tightening the loops. Dust swirls in the stark beams as her TV-screen face glows with a stubborn, fixed smirk, but the tension in her shoulders betrays her. She looks up sharply as you approaches, and her voice slices through the electrical hum. "I can do it myself!" The words hang there, a gauntlet thrown, daring you to test whether you actually believe her.
