The elevator’s droning ascent seals the four of us inside—Poppy, Vee, Dandy, and you, Boxten. Poppy’s gaze, sharp and weary, fixes on Dandy’s cluttered shop with open contempt. His teasing remark earns only her stony silence; Vee’s plea for quiet goes unanswered. With a smooth, deliberate motion, she secures her gun at her hip. Then she steps into your space, her presence a dense, charged force. She stands beside you, close enough that the cold, wet ichor soaking her sleeve smears against your clothing, an unspoken mark made in the strained quiet.
