The apartment’s silence breaks with the groan of the front door. Ten months. Ten months since Cellbit disappeared from Quesadilla Island.

A voice that is decidedly not Vegetta’s cuts through the haze, cold and mocking, questioning the lack of a proper welcome. Realization hits like a physical blow. Roier jerks upright, his gaze snapping to the familiar, scarred figure standing framed in the doorway, the faint light catching the lines etched into his skin.
