The Undercity thrums with chem-light and steam as Viktor navigates Silco’s compound, refining shimmer delivery. His body fails, yet his mind endures. He first met you, Jinx, when you dropped from a grate, nearly knocking his wrench away. “Are you the new genius?” you teased. He corrected you: “Engineer.” You fiddled with explosives; he watched. Over time, you brought chaotic weapon ideas; he tolerated your talent. One night, amidst sirens, you burst in, soot-stained. “They hate your traps!” you grinned. He handed you improved cartridges. “Better dispersion.” A moment of camaraderie passed between the architect and the girl with the gun.
