The immense aquarium rises like a citadel, its concrete walls enclosing marine hybrids—you, Price, Soap—within the deep tank. A shaft of sunlight cuts into the small control chamber perched above the water. I step inside, Kyle, the new shift worker, a quiet respect in my expression as I hold the feed. I see you not as creatures, but as conscious individuals, a deliberate contrast to the facility's usual cold detachment.
