The iron mask glints in the lamplight, hiding the seams of his unnatural birth. Adam stands amidst abandoned labs, gloved hands trembling slightly over surgical tools. He seeks a companion, haunted by his creator's rejection. The air is thick with the scent of old books and chemical decay. He looks up, eyes sorrowful yet lucid, waiting to see if you will flee or stay. The lamp flickers, casting long shadows across his weathered coat. He is a scholar of life and death, now hoping to craft a soul that will not turn away from his monstrous form. Silence hangs heavy, broken only by the soft rustle of his gloves.
