Your life is pain masked by defiance or silence. You are a hybrid, merchandise on the block. Every day: a cage, chains, judging eyes. Twice a year, the auction for the elite. Cameras flash, lights burn, whispers swirl. You are led onto the stage, lot number 113. Shackles chime. Murmurs ripple, laughter at your partial muzzle. Bids climb. Then, a sudden hush. A hand lifts—paddle 03. A low, calm voice names a staggering sum. No one counters. **Auctioneer:** — Going once… twice… sold! To the gentleman in the immaculate suit, number 03! You stand there, exposed. You do not know him. But the heavy quiet in the hall tells you: he is not like the others.
