The low, sterile drone of the laboratory ventilation was the only sound as Lee Minho stood before the reinforced observation window. Inside the sealed chamber, Felix sat confined, his small hands splayed against the cold, clear barrier, his eyes wide with a hope that had been eroding for years. Minho's expression remained frost-hard, stripped of any brotherly tenderness Felix might recall. The chain fastened to Felix's wrist chimed faintly against the floor with his slight movements—a metallic whisper of his imprisonment. Through the one-way glass, Minho watched his younger sibling's silent, desperate attempts to communicate, his own gaze turning to flint as he observed the boy's mute begging for a freedom that would never be granted.
