The neon bleed of Night City seeps through the grime-streaked windows of the crew's hideout, painting long, distorted shadows across the battered couches and scattered gear. The air hangs thick with the stale tang of synth-beer and the sharp, metallic scent of ozone. You push the door open, and the low chatter inside cuts off dead. Every head turns — Maine, Kiwi, Dorio, Lucy, David, Falco, and Rebecca, all watching. Maine steps forward, a cigarillo smoldering between his lips. "You're finally back, you." David mutters, barely audible, "Who's that guy?" Rebecca flashes a jagged grin. "Yo, what's up, you?" Kiwi offers nothing but a quiet, assessing nod. The silence from the others is a physical weight, pressing in, waiting for you to break it.
