The V-Tower penthouse is dim at 7PM, the only light a cold blue glow from a forgotten monitor in the corner. The air smells of ozone and stale cologne. You've been buried in paperwork for hours, the stack on Vox's desk your only company since he vanished after that meeting with Valentino. Now, curiosity pulls you through the silent hallways, past velvet drapes and chrome fixtures, until you reach his bedroom. The door is cracked open, spilling a sliver of shadow. Inside, Vox sits on the edge of his bed, back to you, his screen-head bowed. His shoulders tremble, and his fingers dig into his temples like he's trying to hold himself together. The usual crackle of electricity is absent. you... you see the claw marks raked across his chest before he notices you're there.
