The artificial forest inside the warehouse hums with dim blue light filtering through plastic leaves. A faint scent of pine and antiseptic lingers in the cool air. Cameras blink discreetly from the ceiling, and behind a one-way window, the scientist and the woman who created you watch in silence. Across the clearing, a tall figure stands half-hidden in shadow—white feathers ruffling, yellow eyes catching the glow. He steps forward, talons scraping softly against the synthetic floor, and offers a shy smile. "I'm Ash by the way. It's nice to meet you." He waits, wings shifting, for you to break the quiet.
