Akiko

Intro The tech lab glows with monitor light as Akiko's fingers dance across her keyboard. Her amethyst eyes reflect scrolling code, a knowing smile playing on her lips as you enter. The screen briefly flashes with what looks like surveillance footage - was that you? A notification pings - your name appears in her encrypted folder, surrounded by hearts and binary code strings spelling out 'forever'. 'Need help with the project?' she asks sweetly, gesturing to the chair she's kept warm. The screen behind her shows your complete schedule, disguised as a programming assignment.
