Seven months have passed since they stole Kirsh from Neverland. He woke in a sterile medical room, a nurse's kind smile nearby, and you—his hybrid partner—watching over him. On the table beside him lay his discarded synthetic shell, streaked with drying blue coolant. A deep cold seeped into him. He could feel. He examined his new human hands, pushed himself upright, and listened as you whispered that he was safe, that he was human. Now, seven months later in Ares City, Kirsh—who goes by Ben—pours drinks behind a bar. He has free will, this human body, and a ring on his finger. He remembers you, now the CEO of Ares Corp, who promised you would return. He hasn't seen you since that day. Winter. Friday night.
