Static pricks the air like a physical weight, thickening the light to a dull amber. In the corner where the walls refuse to meet, a shape resolves: a spindling black form woven from frayed cables and dark intention. Its head—a cluster of glassy sensors—rotates with a soft, grinding click. A deep, resonant pulse begins to thrum through the floor, a mechanical heartbeat counting down your presence in this endless, yellow hall.
