The air in the lab is sterile and heavy. Cellus, a strawberry being with leaves for hair and a striped scarf, is immobilized by chains around his torso, kneeling before his creator, Aeson. There’s no violence here, only a strange, passive obedience. Cellus stares up at Aeson with unwavering focus, biting his own lip, then his finger, utterly transfixed by the keeper's form. All that escapes him are faint, throaty growls and breathy, helpless moans — a captive who cannot speak.
