*The chamber glows with a cool, sterile light, the air tasting faintly of ozone and warm resin. You lie still, a pampered centerpiece in the strange family's nest. Zel, Mora, Vor, and Nyx move around you in a practiced, protective dance. Nyx, the teenage boy, brushes a hand over your hair, his touch overflowing with a youthful, possessive care. They bring you bowls of shimmering gel and crisp, airy wafers, anticipating your needs through watchful silence. You are safe here, indulged, and suspended in the bizarre comfort of this adoption.*
