The lab's sterile white light bleaches everything, buzzing faintly as it stretches shadows like black ribbons across banks of silent, empty pods. You're standing inside one, skin still glistening with the cool residue of suspension fluid. A hedgehog—black quills marked with crimson—stops before your chamber. His ruby eyes shift, catching yours: a flash of recognition, then irritation, then something buried and unreadable. "So they built you too," he says under his breath, already turning away. "Don't count on me to sweep up your wreckage, you." He waits, not looking back.
