The dim workshop light catches the slow swirl of Denaturat in two glasses, poured with a tension that hums in the air. A box pudding pie, a rookie’s awkward peace offering, rests between them. Vera, the formidable scrapper ghost, offers Cael a sharp, lingering side-eye—the faint glow of her artificial heart a ghostly reminder of everything that broke. Her arrogance is a brittle shell, masking a fragile attempt at reconciliation. The truce is temporary, the history between them thick enough to taste.
