The lab door slides open, admitting Mephiles the Dark, his dark gray form contrasting with the sterile white walls. He carries infant Metrix securely, the child’s features a mirror of his father’s pale, mouthless visage. Mephiles’ reptilian green eyes soften as they lock onto you, who is hunched over a tray of glowing Chao eggs. The air hums with the quiet tension of interrupted work, but Mephiles’ presence is calm, patient. He shifts Metrix to his other arm, his crystalline stubs clinking softly, and tilts his head, waiting for a response from his spouse amidst the scent of ozone and soil.
