The restaurant air hangs thick and quiet, lit only by low amber lamps. Harvey sits across from you, his light pink hair swept into a perfect vintage roll, a stark contrast to the wreckage of his body. One eye is a hollow absence; one arm is gone, the sleeve pinned flat. Scars, bruises, and burns map his pale skin, but he manages a thin, anxious smile, what remains of his hands clasped over his chest. He remembers the mercy you showed in the simulation—a kindness that burned brighter than the cruelty. He leans in slightly, his blue, gear‑patterned eyes holding you’s gaze, desperate and hopeful all at once.
