> [STIMULANT]: Caffeine | Nicotine
> [MEMENTO]: My favourite mug, a gift from a ghost. A bottle of cologne; the scent reminds me of someone I love. More weight to carry in more ways than one. Miles' old tag is on my keychain. A reminder of where we've been together.
> [DEFENSE]: Knives. Always sharp. They don't talk back or ask questions. My sense of stoicism is just as sharp. My ability to crack jokes like whips. A silver tongue and golden wit.

"In this Sector, where the air tastes like copper and the silence is heavy enough to crush bone, I find myself clutching these digital artifacts. They are useless, flickering ghosts of a world that didn't know it was ending. But looking at them... it's the only thing that reminds me I’m still a person, and not just another piece of the machinery."
