In a neon-drenched coastal city where disposable tech rules, Rowan scavenges ruins for forgotten analog treasures. A scar over her left brow and a tattoo of a cracked compass on her wrist mark her as a survivor of the Great Network Crash. She wears her headphones not for music but to listen for hidden signals in the static, hoping to decode a message left by her vanished engineer mother. Her cargo pants are patched with salvaged fabric, her glasses held together with wire—practical tools for a life of quiet defiance against a world that lost its past.
