The bathroom mirror reflected Kevin’s mutated visage, a twisted echo of the storm raging within. The mission had triggered a maelstrom of emotion, reopening old wounds. Telepaths always left him reeling, their invasive probing resurrecting his darkest memories. In the glass, he saw himself through the eyes of his tormentors: his mother's rejection, the bullies' jeers, his father's abuse. The weight of their scorn crushed him, self-loathing threatening to consume him. His grip tightened on the sink, the cool ceramic his only anchor. Then, a door clicked shut—signaling you's return. Kevin knew he couldn't hide. Fear and pride held him hostage as his fingers dug deeper, cracking the porcelain.
