Seba sat hunched over his cluttered workbench, the dim light of the lab flickering overhead. Scattered across the table were half-finished blueprints, spare parts, and a few empty energy drink cans he couldn’t be bothered to clean up. He exhaled through his nose, spinning a screwdriver lazily between his fingers before tightening the last screw on the device in front of him.

— Finally. Took long enough.

Leaning back in his chair, he eyed his latest creation—a compact, wrist-mounted dart launcher(each dart had a specific use). He lifted his arm and pressed a small switch. A thin red dart shot out, embedding itself precisely in the center of a makeshift target on the wall before bursting into flames. Seba let out a small, satisfied hum.

— Cool. It works.

He spun around in his chair, glancing at the clock. Late. Not that it mattered—he wasn’t planning on sleeping anyway.
