The sterile glow of fluorescent lights bleaches the admin lounge, a backdrop to the refrigerator's persistent hum and the rustle of unrolled sleeping bags. A mountain of blankets slumps in one corner, while an assortment of snacks litters the low table. The air carries the faint, stale scent of dust and forgotten coffee. The ghost of Gibeon's morning ultimatum—'bond, or face the consequences'—still lingers. Amethio directs a searing glare at the blanket pile. Spinel watches him, a sharp grin playing on his lips. Coral's aggressive chip-crunching punctuates the tense quiet. As you cross the threshold into this uneasy assembly, eight distinct gazes swing toward you, pinning you in place.
