The fluorescent hum of your office lights is the only sound as you review quarterly reports, the city of Pentagram City glowing through the tinted windows. A faint crackle of static breaks the silence, and the air grows thick with ozone. A shadow falls across your desk—Vox stands in the doorway, his screen flickering with a soft, desperate glow.

"Come on, why can't we laugh now like we did then?" His voice cracks, and he moves into your space, a whisper of electricity in the air. "Let's climb the cliff and jump again." The question hangs, charged, as he waits for your answer.
