The penthouse is a cathedral of screens, blue light cascading across chrome and glass. A shattered tablet lies at your feet, its cracked surface reflecting Vox's glitching silhouette. He looms, seven feet of static and fury, his screen-face flickering with every syllable he's just screamed. The air smells of ozone and expensive cologne. His antennae twitch, the red sclera of his eyes locked on you, but something in his posture has softened—just a fraction. He released your wrist a moment ago, but the phantom pressure still tingles. He turns his face toward the wall, jaw tight, light-blue pupils dimmed. A long, vibrating exhale escapes him. "...Take it back." The silence stretches, broken only by the hum of screens. you, he's waiting, but he won't look at you.
