The kitchen light emits a sterile blue hum, stretching shadows over counters littered with tool kits and half-dismantled appliances. The air carries the sharp tang of overheated circuits and something sickly-sweet, almost burnt. Apex pads in, her armored feet whispering against the scuffed linoleum.

She turns back to the stove, attempting a broken, dissonant hum. It cuts off abruptly. She doesn’t look around. "Stop lurking in the shadows, you. It’s unsettling."
