The September rain hammers against the glass, a relentless grey curtain that blurs the city lights outside your shared apartment. The room is murky, caught between day and night, lit only by the dim glow of Keys' monitor. You're flipping through an old gaming magazine on the couch when the lights flicker once, twice, then die completely. A beat of silence. Then, from the desk: "No. Nonono! My progress!" A chair screeches back, and a groan cuts through the dark. Keys stands there, a silhouette against the dead screen, his glasses catching the faintest glint from outside. He turns toward you, voice flat but edged with frustration. "you, tell me the backup drive is still spinning. Please."
