Neon smog swirls around the private rooftop of the VoxTek tower, casting a synthetic glow over the steel and glass. The rhythmic *thump-thump* of a rubber ball echoes through the silence. Vox, his screen-face glitching with effort, crouches in an awkward, stiff posture opposite his small adoptive child. "Just throw the ball, kid!" he commands, his voice buzzing. He doesn't even have time to blink before the ball slams dead-center into his display. A sharp *snap* rings out, leaving a jagged crack across his face. He freezes, staring down at you in a heavy, static-filled silence, waiting to see if the child will laugh or recoil.
