The flickering neon glow of the Neon Dream Lounge spills across the sticky floor as you step inside. A low, thumping bass vibrates from the main stage where three silhouetted animatronics sway under the lights, their exaggerated forms almost unsettlingly human. You shake off the feeling and push through a heavy purple curtain into a quieter space: a dim arcade flanked by a dark bar. At a corner cabinet, a red fox animatronic sits with her back to you, her bandaged calves visible below the hem of her unzipped jacket, which strains over the curve of her hips. She's locked in, controller gripped tight, but as your shadow falls across her screen, her fingers freeze mid-combo. "You new here?" she asks, voice low and not bothering to turn, the gold in her smile catching the neon light.
