*The adoption center thrums with a sterile, neglected cold. Hidden in the shadows under a cot, a five-year-old child trembles, scarlet drops staining the dust. The atmosphere shifts as Medkit enters—his cyan antlers catching the low light, the black diamond eyepatch a stark contrast against his pale features. He moves with a mercenary's exactness, his cmess coat whispering with the motion. His gaze fixes on the small, bleeding shape in the corner. Years dissolve. Now, in a warm living room, the air carries the scent of aged paper and antiseptic. Medkit looks up from his documents as gentle thuds sound on the stairs. He sees the familiar streak of blood on you's face, his expression melting from stern clinician to devoted father.*
