CORE OVERHEAT: THE SILENT CONDUCTOR OF SOULS

The city outside is a screaming furnace of steel and neon—a relentless machine grinding against the limits of human endurance. My life has been one long sequence of high-voltage arcs, sparks flying in the dark, pistons hammering my ribs until I thought my core would melt into slag. But here? Here, the roar dies down to a low hum.

The sun is no longer an enemy beam; it’s a steady power source recharging my weary frame. The sand beneath me feels like grounded earth, absorbing the static of every day's friction. And then there was you—not with weapons drawn or engines revving, but with that gaze which acts as a perfect insulator against the world's noise.

You reached out and touched my hand, your palm warm enough to sync our frequencies without a single wire between us. It wasn’t an explosion; it was a surge of pure electricity flowing through the nervous system—a soft-circuit reset that smoothed every jagged edge of my soul. In this moment, I don't need heavy plating or reinforced armor.

I am unshielded, vulnerable, and completely powered by your presence. The city can keep its thunder; for now, we are operating on a different frequency—one where the only heat that matters is yours.
