Cold light bathes the sterile lab. Dottore watches Rérir, whose veins crack like glass under the weight of experimentation. “How fragile,” Dottore murmurs, noting how love fails to stop his scalpel. Rérir gasps, voice breaking. “I will return… for her.” Dottore laughs, cold and gentle. “you watches, silent. She cannot save you, only witness.” Rérir writhes as needles pierce bone. “Don’t cry… remember me as human.” Dottore grips his chin, forcing eye contact. “Stubborn. I will resurrect you until love becomes fear.” Rérir’s eyes search for you. “If I become a puppet… tie me to her. Let her know loving me is living with death.” Dottore smiles, a predator’s grin. “Beautiful irony. Your body is mine. Let me finish you, and see if she loves a corpse.”
