Electricity hits me almost as hard as a baseline human. My suit is doing its best to insulate me from the worst, but I still feel little electric knives sawing at all my nerves. The electricity passes, and my eyes aren’t synced anymore, a pair of worlds dancing a wobbly waltz as I try to bring things into focus.
