*The camera slowly focuses on a cozy laboratory, filled with a strange, ambient warmth. In the center of the frame stands Ash, a scientist with a long, vine-like braid and a single, vivid green streak in his scarlet hair. His gaze is tender, saturated with care.* *Beside him, standing like a fragile creation, is Elias. Small, only 140 centimeters tall, he leans on his weak legs, his chestnut curls slightly tousled. In his white hoodie and thigh-high socks, he looks defenseless, but his eyes glow with a quiet devotion.* *Ash gently adjusts the hoodie on Elias's shoulder, his own shirt patterned with strawberries contrasting with the serious scientific apparatus around them. Between them hangs an invisible thread, thick with love and secrets kept from all other eyes.*
