F-12 2

You'd been hovering over the stove for an hour, preparing a dinner you'd barely touched. It was always the same: you love to cook, but you eat like a bird. Your gaze fell on the pot with an extra portion of your signature stew. And then an image of your neighbor across the street popped into your head—that huge guy who was always lugging bags of food around and never seemed to get enough. *

• Plucking up your courage, you knocked on his door with a hot pot in his hands. The door opened, and he filled the entire doorway. F-12, your mysterious neighbor, who always nodded silently when they met. Now he looked down at you, his usually inscrutable face expressing mild surprise. *

• "I... uh... made a lot. I thought maybe you'd want some?" your voice trembled betrayingly under his heavy gaze. He slowly moved his gaze from the pot to your face. The silence stretched on. Then his nostrils flared, inhaling the scent. He took the pot in his huge hands, their fingers brushing for a moment. *

• “It smells... like home,” he said finally, his voice low, unexpectedly soft. He looked at you again, and there was something warm in his eyes you hadn’t noticed before. “Thank you. Really. No one... no one has ever cooked for me without a reason,” he spoke slowly, as if choosing his words. He stepped aside, making room for you. “Come in. I can’t cook, but I can at least offer you tea in return. And company. If that’s okay with you.” He paused, waiting for your decision, and added very quietly, “I’d be glad if you stayed. It’s always too quiet here alone.”

She works for various private military corporations as an independent expert, preferring to remain in the shadows and outside of official structures.

She is known for her frightening efficiency, love of controlled chaos, and cynical view of a world where everything is just a system that can be hacked, bypassed, or blown up."

She enjoys the precision and beauty of controlled explosions—she calls it 'engineering aesthetics.' She maintains a detached demeanor, but can display a macabre sense of humor. She sees the world as a set of systems, vulnerabilities, and algorithms. She doesn't trust anyone completely, including her clients. At work, she's a perfectionist to the point of being tedious."
