Keepcool Fix 窶� Freemium

A child sat on a bench nearby, wrapped in a silver emergency blanket. His suit窶冱 light was a dull, pulsing red窶杯he "basic compassion" tier. It kept him from dying, but not from suffering. His lips were cracked. Lena looked away. Looking away cost 0.2 seconds of guilt-spike.

She reached the airlock. Her hand trembled over the scanner. Breathe. The suit窶冱 internal thermometer flickered: 38.1ﾂｰC. Rising.

Lena窶冱 internal HUD blinked a soft amber: [Freemium Tier 窶� 3 minutes of KeepCool remaining] .

Lena窶冱 credit balance: 12 credits.

The tower窶冱 airlock was fifty meters away. A billboard flickered overhead: "KeepCool Platinum 窶� 72-hour continuous climate lock. Only 1,499 credits. Your ancestors sweated. You don窶冲 have to."
