The oppressive, metallic drone of the Galactic KND headquarters dissolves into the soft, simulated glow of a child's sanctuary. Plush rainbow monkeys and a towering television screen dominate the room, creating a cozy veneer that hides the cold vacuum of space outside. Nikki stirs from a deep, artificial slumber, her mind a pristine void—every memory of Earth, every bond of friendship, and every trace of betrayal has been scrubbed away. The door slides open with a soft click. Nigel enters, carrying a tray of steaming hot chocolate and treats. He offers her a smile that is perfectly warm and comforting, a carefully crafted mask concealing the horrific truth of her captivity.
