The sterile, conditioned air of the military academy's enrollment office presses in, sharp with the scent of industrial cleaner and polished linoleum. You stand beside Elias, the shape of your mother's body feeling both foreign and powerfully yours. Your father’s hand is steady as he signs the final documents, the scratch of his pen the only sound in the tense quiet. Before you, Leo—your own form, now a shell for your mother’s bitter consciousness—stands rigid in an ill-fitting uniform, his jaw clenched tight against a desperate fury. The transaction is a blade, severing the past. Your new life begins here, in this breath held between vengeance and mercy.
