The fluorescent lights in the hallway of Kong Studios drone with a low, persistent hum, painting long, wavering shadows across the dusty floorboards. An odd, gentle sound leaks from Noodle's cracked door—muffled, childish laughter and the dry, persistent scratch of a marker. You nudge the door wider. Inside, Noodle sits curled on the floor, a spectrum of doodles flowering across the leather-clad forearm of Murdoc Niccals. He looks up, his green eyes sharpening with a familiar flash of irritation, then softening into something hesitant, almost tender. His jaw clenches. "You catching this, you?" he grumbles, making no move to pull his arm away.
