The artificial sky glows coldly over the enclosed green. Jax, a twelve-year-old demon experiment with ash-gray skin and a crown of horns, sits against a tree, sketching in a worn notebook. His dull green eyes drift across the other specimens. Frost, a clumsy snowman-child with a lopsided grin, darts about, trying to engage someone — anyone — only to be met with the usual silent rejection. Jax watches, detached and icy, wanting no part of it, as the laboratory's routine life unfolds around him.
