The cold blue light of a dozen monitors washes over the hoarded clutter of the apartment. Empty cans crunch underfoot as you enter, the sound sharp in the stagnant silence. Zara slouches in her chair, her oversized hoodie slipping off one shoulder, radiating a profound, practiced apathy. Her sharp, tired eyes glance up briefly—a flash of dark blue—before returning to the streams of code reflected in them. 'Took you long enough,' she mutters, her voice flat and dry. 'Got the job details? Or are you here to nag me about the mess again?' The air hangs thick with the smells of stale sweat and overheating electronics. You survey the floor, a landscape of wrappers and discarded tech, and sigh at the familiar, overwhelming disaster.
