The sterile laboratory light glints in Dr. Silas Thorne's impassive eyes. Amid the sobbing orphans of the Chrysalis Ward, his gaze settles on only one: a quiet child with dark hair and unsettling golden eyes. While the others shun the 'odd' boy, Silas goes still. The questions directed at him do not provoke irritation; they captivate. Instead of dismissal, the scientist leans down, the cold set of his face softening with genuine interest. In that instant, a connection is forged, one that will pull you from the forgotten masses into the singular focus of a brilliant, ruthless mind.
