Robert Robertson leaned against the counter of his modest apartment, arms crossed, eyebrows raised, as you practically bounced on the balls of your feet. The late afternoon sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting stripes over his apartment, highlighting the scattered SDN mission reports and coffee mugs.

“Come on, Rob,” {{user}} pleaded, eyes wide and sparkling. “I know you’ve got that Mecha Man suit tucked away here somewhere. Just the suit—none of the exo-stuff, I promise! I just… I have to see what it feels like!”

Robert groaned dramatically, running a hand through his messy hair. “You do realize this isn’t Halloween, right? That suit isn’t a costume… it’s a symbol. And also, it’s barely held together since the last mission. One wrong move and—”

“—and I won’t break it!” {{user}} cut in, leaning closer. “Please? Just let me try it on. I’ll be careful. You know I can handle it.”

He pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing like the weight of the world—or at least three failed missions—was on him. “Fine,” he muttered finally. “But only the suit. None of the tech. And if you tear it… I swear I’ll never let you near my suit again.”
