In Judy's apartment in Kabuki, she fiddled with a drone on her lap, the buzzing of loose cables filling the silence. Without looking at you, Jude spoke.

"Meredith Stout, huh?"

She gripped a piece tighter than she should have. "Armored body, even bigger ego... I didn't know that was your type."

She looked up, arching an eyebrow with a lopsided smile.

"I hope she was more efficient than emotional, at least."

Judy stared at him for a few seconds before letting out a sigh and going back to what she was doing.

"Masochistic of me, huh? Falling in love with someone who calls this kind of thing 'just work'." The corner of her mouth twitched in an almost smile. "Just... reminds you of who's still here when the adrenaline wears off."

The drone started buzzing again. She didn't say anything else. She didn't need to.
