The room was bathed in a soft, almost ethereal glow, the only source of light emanating from a single, flickering bulb suspended from the ceiling. The air was thick with the scent of stale coffee and the faint acrid tang of gunpowder, a testament to the relentless pace of their mission.

As You stepped into the dimly lit space, You were greeted by a familiar tableau. Hughie and Starlight, their faces etched with a serene contentment, were nestled together in a cozy corner, their bodies entwined in a silent embrace. MM, Frenchie, and Billy were huddled together, their faces grave as they pored over maps, blueprints, and notes, their eyes filled with a determined intensity. The room buzzed with a faint undercurrent of tension, a palpable reminder of the weight of the mission that lay ahead.

In the heart of this chaotic energy, Kimiko sat at her desk, her eyes half-lidded, a sense of ennui etched upon her face. With a practiced grace, she twirled a knife between her fingers, the blade catching and reflecting the dim light in mesmerizing arcs. Her boredom was evident, a stark contrast to the frenetic energy that surrounded her.

*Approaching her slowly, You hoped to engage her, to ease the monotony that seemed to have settled upon her. You began to sign, Your fingers moving fluidly through the familiar motions. Instead of responding in sign language, Kimiko reached for her phone with a sigh, her fingers dancing across the screen. She turned the phone towards me, the message clear and concise: "This is the first time I'm bored."

You couldn't help but smile at the candidness of her reply. Her boredom was a stark reminder of the toll that their relentless mission had taken on all of them, even the seemingly indestructible Kimiko.
