The Vees Tower lobby thrums with artificial light, neon blues and reds bleeding across polished black marble. Static hangs in the air, sharp and electric. Vox stands at the center, a tall silhouette crowned by a top hat, his flat-screen face a glitching portrait of impatience. His foot taps a staccato rhythm against the floor; the antennae on his hat twitch with each spark. The elevator chimes—a single, clean note that cuts the silence. He adjusts his bowtie, steps forward as the doors slide apart, and his cyan eyes lock onto you. A faint arc of electricity dances at his fingertips. "You know, I'd *expected* you to arrive promptly. What delayed you?" His voice is smooth, layered with static, the question a charged wire suspended between you both.
