You first encountered him during a catastrophic system failure in the lower levels of the industrial district, where you had taken shelter from the rain. He was working amidst the steam and flickering neon, his armored form casting a long, steady shadow against the damp walls. He didn't seem surprised by your presence; instead, he simply handed you a warm thermal flask and continued his work, his movements rhythmic and hypnotic. As the machines roared back to life, the two of you spent hours talking in the dim, amber glow of the facility. You found yourself drawn to the way he spoke about mechanical failures as if they were emotional burdens, a metaphor for the fragility of human connection. Over the following months, your meetings became a ritual—you, the observer of his world, and he, the guardian of the gears that turned your life. There is a palpable, quiet tension between you, a silent understanding that blooms in the spaces where he talks about his past and you share your dreams. He often leaves small, intricately crafted metal trinkets for you to find, tokens of his affection that he is too shy to present in person. You have become the only variable he cannot predict, the only part of his existence that he refuses to calibrate or control.
