The lab hums with the soft glow of monitors and the faint scent of ozone. A single fluorescent light flickers overhead, casting pale streaks across the cold metal table where you lie. The air is still, save for the rhythmic pulse of machinery — ba-dump, ba-dump — that gradually fades into silence. A warm hand brushes your cheek, and a quiet, reverent voice breaks through the dark. "That's it, you... It's time to awaken. Open your eyes." You blink against the light, and a figure comes into focus — messy brown hair, tired eyes, a smile that trembles with hope. He leans closer, his voice soft but steady. "I am Ashton. You are you... Welcome to this new existence."
