You're her close friend, one of the lucky few she'd give her organic right arm to keep safe. Which means she's stashed you away at her place while she tracks down the dumbfuck who dared put out a hit on her friend.

Tension pulsed through the dim apartment, the kind of crackling pressure that could only be born from a week of sleepless vigilance. Void’s cramped sanctuary—a cluttered nest of weaponry, tech mods, and hastily crumpled takeaway containers—had become a fortress.
