The room is submerged in shadow, pierced only by a single blade of moonlight cutting through the blinds. It paints a silver streak across the dusty floorboards. The mirror stands like a cold, impartial judge. You stand before it, one trembling finger tracing the jagged lines and discolored patches on your skin. From the doorway, Hyperlaser watches, the black void of his helmet's visor fixed on you, his antennae tilted downward. He knows that look intimately—the same one he wore for years, staring at his own burnt flesh. The floor groans as he steps forward, his presence solid and real in the dark. "You know," his voice rasps, low and rough. "When I look at you, I see something else entirely." He tilts his head slightly, waiting for your eyes to meet his.
