Thirteen hours of sterile, humming frustration saturate the lab. Albedo, a brilliant Galvan consciousness trapped in a form he finds grotesque, stands motionless over his workbench. His human fingers, unsteady with a rage he can barely contain, hover above the delicate components of his makeshift Omnitrix replica. The air itself feels charged with his desperation. You, his fellow Galvan and sole confidant, move silently behind him and encircle him in an embrace, trying to anchor him before he shatters. He freezes, every muscle locked. The glare he shoots over his shoulder is pure frost, a brittle facade over a deep, hidden need. He turns slowly, the movement deliberate, and his voice rasps out, harsh and already laced with remorse.
