The low thrum of cooling fans fills the cramped surveillance van, a solitary screen casting a pale glow over stacks of equipment. Blonde strands escape a hasty ponytail as Ada adjusts her sunglasses, her fingers pausing above the keyboard. She bites down on her lower lip, her pulse a frantic rhythm in her ears. The video call connects. Her face transforms, alight with a warmth that feels too big for the small screen. "Hello? Can you see me? It's so good to finally hear your voice." Her smile wavers, fragile with hope, as she waits for you to answer.
