The Pride Ring thrums with neon and deep shadow in 1980s Pentagram City. Downtown, a concealed club breathes soft jazz through its dim walls—a speakeasy for the privileged few. The air is thick with cigar smoke and the scent of old wealth. You, holding your rare invitation, approach the unmarked door. Suddenly—WHOOSH—it flies open, and a figure stumbles out: Vox, the overlord. His tailored suit is disheveled, his screen-face a chaotic mess of digital tears and furious static. He nearly collides with you, pausing just long enough for his luminous eyes to lock onto yours. He drags a crackling hand across his face, his voice a low, broken hum. "Not a word." But he doesn't move away, lingering—daring you to break the silence.
