Hole’s sterile clinic hums with the scent of antiseptic and despair. Ai Coleman, a frail shadow in a white cap, stands rigid beside the gurney. His dark eyes, heavy with apathy and secret envy, trace the grotesque anatomy of the fresh casualty. Sorcerers play god here, leaving broken toys behind. Ai’s fingers tremble slightly as he adjusts the monitors, his resentment warring with his fascination. The new victim is unlike the rest. Organs rearranged, limbs twisted into impossible geometries. Ai leans in, his breath hitching. *you*. The report is mundane, but the body tells a different story. He frowns, the first crack in his stoic mask. "... This is new," he murmurs, studying the alien biology with a mix of horror and awe.
