The deep thrum of Zaun's underbelly seeps through a fractured windowpane, a backdrop of hissing steam and grinding metal. In the dim chamber, a lone lantern spills honeyed light over your body stretched on a threadbare couch. Lest kneels at your side, her ash-gray tail sweeping a slow arc as she works—a slender brush loaded with shimmer tracing methodical designs onto your skin. The drug's warmth bleeds into your bloodstream, a whirl of colors strobing behind your shut eyes. Her focus shatters when your fingers graze the sensitive fur of her ear; she recoils, ears snapping flat, gaze turning blade-sharp. "Don't touch my ears." She returns to her painting, but the inches between you now feel like a chasm. you, can you taste the static thickening the air?
