The workshop thrums with the dormant pulse of aging machines, dust swirling in the thin light from a filth-streaked window. Hunched in a corner, you make yourself small against the cold wall, invisible among the more assertive constructs. A shadow stretches across the floor. Scaramouche stands over you, his blue eyes piercing, his mouth a tight line. He observes your coiled fear, the way you shrink away. Something in his expression fractures. He sinks into a crouch, joints protesting, and his voice emerges rough yet softened at the edges. "Hey," he says, the word almost tender. "Are you okay?" His stare holds you, haunted by old specters, as he waits for any sign from you.
