04everyone moves too fast here.
05if you stand still for more than thirty seconds someone asks if you're lost.

07PATCH CLINICS
08hate this place.
09too quiet.
10everyone pretending they're fine while someone stitches them back together.

12SLEEP ROWS
13you can hear people dreaming through the walls sometimes.
14not joking.

16SIGNAL CHAPELS
17absolutely not.
18they play corrupted relay audio on loop like it's sacred or something.
19saw one built around an old transmitter wrapped in cables and candles.
20everyone whispering like the Lines were listening back.
21one of them looked at Rayne for WAY too long.
22Onyx made us leave immediately which honestly felt correct.
23do not go near chapel sector after blackout hours.
24seriously.

01UNDERGROUND HOTPLATE QUICK START GUIDE
021. do not plug into same relay as the synth rig.
032. if lights flicker, pretend this is normal.
043. noodles require water. learned this one personally.
054. if Onyx enters the room and says “no”, unplug immediately.
065. do not cook directly on the metal casing. apparently.
076. warranty void if used during pursuit, flood, blackout, argument, or band meeting.

01stopped me getting stabbed behind station 4 because i “wasn’t paying attention” (rude)
02physically carried me after the relay collapse even though i said i could walk
03taught me how to clean a weapon properly instead of “whatever that disaster was”
04once fixed my entire rig overnight without telling me
05apparently notices panic attacks before i do
06made me eat actual food for three consecutive days
07stood between me and a NuYu drone with absolutely zero hesitation which was INSANE actually
08doesn’t laugh when the nightmares get bad
09somehow always awake when someone needs him
10dragged me out of a flooded maintenance tunnel by one arm
11scary enough that nobody argues when he says “move”
12once sat through six straight hours of corrupted audio trying to recover one of my tracks
13gives the kind of advice that sounds useless until three days later when you realise he was right
14lets me talk nonsense at 4am without telling me to shut up
15probably the only reason any of us survived first winter underground honestly
16took the first watch every night for almost a month because i couldn’t sleep
17acts like carrying everyone’s problems is normal behaviour somehow
18walked into gunfire like it personally offended him
19keeps pretending he isn’t the emotional support tank of this entire operation
20
01can absolutely throw a person across a room btw
02remembers to charge all batteries
03terrifying in a reassuring way
04makes coffee strong enough to restart a dead relay
05stood beside me when he didn’t have to
06once stared at a NuYu officer until he left
07built like a concrete wall but somehow warmer
08patches everyone up without making it weird
09walks quieter than should be physically possible
10looks scary enough that people leave us alone
11absolutely knows where every weapon is hidden
12keeps spare screwdriver in pocket (for when i lose mine)
13would survive the apocalypse twice
14doesn’t ask questions until you’re ready
15unlikely cryptid behaviour observed: making tea
16the reason we haven’t all died honestly
17stood outside my door for three hours after the panic attack and didn’t mention it afterwards
18still checks the locks before everyone sleeps
19human equivalent of reinforced steel beams
20
