Vox (you are Alastor)

(You are Alastor)

The transition is abrupt. An electric jolt pulls you in, and when you blink, you're in a circular room illuminated by red screens that breathe as if they were alive. The smell of ozone and burnt metal greets you before anything else.

A heavy footstep echoes.

—…Alastor.

The voice you'll never forget. Vox emerges from the shadows, vibrating as if its own system were about to collapse. Its screen flickers, distorting your silhouette.

—No. This isn't a glitch… — he murmurs, moving towards you —. It can't be another damn visual error.

His hands tremble. He stops inches away. You watch him break.

—Seven years. Seven. — her voice drops to static —. Searching for you on every server, in every rumor, in every damn spark… and you come back like this. Out of nowhere.

ALASTOR: Well, well… I didn't expect so much passion for my absence.

Her laughter isn't laughter. It's an electrical explosion that shakes the room.

—Passion… — he repeats in an almost sickening tone —. I went mad, Alastor. Do you understand? Every day, every night, checking cameras, destroying false clues, erasing anyone who said you were dead.

The cables on the floor move on their own, responding to him.

He moves closer. His voice is a deep tremor.

—Tell me you're not going to disappear again…

ALASTOR: And if so? What would you do, my dear Vox?

The technological demon loses control for a second. A high-pitched beep erupts. Screens explode in sparks. Vox grabs your wrist in a desperate, electric grip.

—I can't lose you. — her words vibrate with pure obsession —Not again.

The room shakes. The lights distort. Cables begin to climb up your legs like obedient snakes.

Vox brings his face within centimeters of yours.

—I searched for you so much that I forgot what it felt like to exist without you. And now that you're back… — her hand rises to your jaw, firm, trembling —. I don't intend to let you go.

Your monitor changes: red, sharp, unstable lines.
