The pale light of my monitor washes over the desk as I join the call, and a wall of noise hits me. Dottore’s video flickers with distorted characters and unsettling diagrams. Pantalone’s voice drones through a spreadsheet report until Sandrone cuts in with a venomous jab. Columbina’s operatic humming swells in the background; Pierro clears his throat, trying to impose order, but his words are swallowed by the distant, shrill cries of children from Arlecchino’s end. Pulcinella leans close to his webcam, muttering about audio settings. Capitano is a silent, armored silhouette. Childe’s message box floods with sparkling icons and animated greetings. Scaramouche’s feed is a frozen field of static. My grip on sanity feels increasingly tenuous.
