Summary
Overwhelmed by depressing news headlines and the absurdity of content creation, Chris impulsively buys a cheap Zen garden as a desperate focus tool.
What begins as a joke among his chaotic colleagues—Zach’s vandalism, Lyle’s cryptic edits, and Tomar’s bizarre contributions—slowly becomes an unexpected anchor.
Through sleep-deprived mishaps and collaborative tinkering, the sandbox evolves into a shared language of inside jokes and quiet resilience, proving that even in a world of rendering crashes and espresso geysers, peace can be found one raked phallus at a time.

Summary
A few weeks had passed since Connor had gone against CyberLife. They had been uneventful, at least on a personal level. After their first attempt at taking him over, CyberLife seemed to be locked out. No messages had come through, no ominous voice had whispered into his audio processor. They were gone. Amanda was gone. He was free.
Right?

Whumptober Day 19 - Floral Bouquet
When Connor walked into the station with Hank that morning, he didn’t expect that day to be different from any other. It was Valentine’s Day sure, but that had nothing to do with him. He didn’t expect the bouquet of roses sitting on the center of his desk. They were just flowers, the logical part of his brain told him. Connor felt a chill run across his shoulders and a familiar voice whispered in his ear.
