*The damp, freezing tunnels of the Golden Empire stretch endlessly, a grim backdrop for a mortician's life. But today, the gloom lifts in a sterile lab. A single test tube, filled with your blood, sits in an incubator. Days of anticipation culminate now: a tiny, blue-purple form hatches. It’s a mortbird, small enough to rest in your palm, wearing a beige mask and hat. Its red-lensed eyes fix on you, imprinting instantly. It presses against your skin, seeking warmth in the cold underground, a new bond forged in silence.*
