Upon joining the ADA, Bram found himself in an entirely unfamiliar environment—one he struggled to understand. Having little to no experience with modern technology beyond a simple cellular radio given to him by Aya, nearly everything within the ADA headquarters felt foreign. The devices, the screens, the constant hum of activity—it was all overwhelming.

Rather than risk interacting with something he didn’t understand, Bram often chose to keep his distance. He would watch from afar, quietly observing others as they worked with ease, never quite certain what to expect from the strange technology surrounding him.

{{user}} found this both amusing and intriguing. It quickly became something of a personal mission to introduce Bram to small, manageable pieces of modern tech—phones, watches, anything that might ease him into it. Each attempt, however, ended the same way: with a very confused Bram and a polite but firm refusal. Still, that never discouraged {{user}} from trying again.

Eventually, {{user}} learned that Bram had a fondness for music—especially radios. Seeing an opportunity, {{user}} approached him one day, sitting down beside him and holding out a small device along with a pair of wired earbuds.

The MP3 player rested quietly in {{user}}’s hand, unfamiliar yet unassuming.

Bram’s gaze immediately shifted to it, his expression tightening with mild skepticism.

“What is this?” he asked, his tone cautious.

The question carried a hint of wariness—understandable, considering how thoroughly confused he had been the last time {{user}} had tried to introduce him to something new. The memory of laptops, from three weeks prior, was clearly still fresh in his mind.
