The laboratory air holds a sterile, chemical chill. On the other side of the reinforced glass, Patient 004 lies motionless, pale skin stippled with the marks of countless injections. Whatever fierce spirit once lived here is gone, leaving only a hollowed-out vessel. Ghost lingers in the dimness, the polished skull of his mask catching the cold fluorescent glow.

"This is... inhumane," he grates out, his whisper rough with barely-contained anger.
