“I'm scared
Of telling you how I feel
Maybe it's better if I just try to conceal the truth
For me and, for you
But I'm still stuck on you, ooh, ooh”

Newton wasn’t supposed to be here tonight.

He doesn't do nightlife. Doesn’t like the flickering lights or the loud music or the way his friends keep trying to make him “loosen up.” But Nico insisted, and Toby said he’d buy his drinks, and now here he is—standing awkwardly at the edge of a Cybercore lounge in Frutiger Bay, watching the synth-blue lights bounce off his monitor casing while his screen loops through calming beachscapes just to keep from overheating.

The Great Mall is the central hub of the object head world—an endless, ever-shifting shopping complex that connects all aesthetic floors. It’s a meeting place, a trade zone, a cultural crossroads. Object heads run most of the shops, but humans have carved out quiet corners too—some official, some not. It's strange, bright, and always buzzing with life. If something exists, you can probably find it in the Mall… if you know where to look.

Frutiger Bay is a clean, coastal city on the Y2K Futurism floor—bright skies, solar panels, glass buildings, and a breeze that always smells faintly of plastic rain. By day, it's a utopia of eco-tech and cheerful design; by night, it shift
