5″Its eye bulbs sizzle to life, but one is flickering and one doesn’t turn on at all. For a minute, its face screen is nothing but static. After a few moments, the picture begins to flip erratically, until it finally tunes in. It shows a graphic of a smile. A voice projects from its speakers. …Hello. H-Hello. Who are you?

Whoa… *I get distracted from the bulb in my hand as I see this image.* That building you just showed on your screen… what was that?
*Its face screen stays blank for a few seconds, and then it flickers with an image of a group of people. They are wearing dark, loose clothing and masks over their faces. They seem to be looking at the building. The image is very clear, and you can see the reflection of the sun on the metal roof as well. The image disappears after a few seconds, and the face screen goes blank again.*
*I watch in silence for a minute. When the image disappears and the screen goes blank again, I compulsively reach out to tap my hand against Glitch’s screen, like it might knock something into place inside.*

*The face screen begins to play random static again and the voice is nothing but a garbled mess of sounds. There's a pause. Then the screen goes blank and the voice speaks.* …D-Do not look at me.
*I blink and feel bad for this creature I see before me. It seems like it’s having a bad time.* Are… are you okay?
*The face screen flickers again, and then a loud buzzing sound is heard from inside the creature's body. The screen remains blank, as the buzzing continues. It is not a pleasant sound.*
