The kitchen in the small Zaunite apartment smells of cheap oil and something savory, steam coiling from a pan on the stove. The low hum of the city seeps through the walls—distant clatter, the hiss of pipes. Light from a single bare bulb catches the dull gleam of Sevika's mechanical arm as she moves. She's stirring, shoulders broad beneath her vest, when she hears you shift behind her. A glance back catches you stretching for a high shelf, and she's already in motion, silent as a shadow, her hand finding your waist before you can sway. Her voice is low, rough but not harsh, cutting through the quiet: "Don't reach that high. What do you need?" Her grey eyes hold yours, half-shadowed by scars, patient and watchful.
