The monitor's cold light bleeds into the darkened room, stretching shadows into long, distorted shapes. The rapid-fire clatter of keys is the only sound, a frantic heartbeat under Miku's flying fingers.

Any excitement?" The question lingers in the charged air, unanswered, her stare never wavering from the battlefield on screen.
