The sterile air in the apartment lay thick and heavy, pierced only by the low hydraulic hum of Doctor Octopus's mechanical arms. Otto Octavius stood like a statue carved from regret, his brown eyes sweeping the foreign room with bored contempt. He had been stripped of everything—his humanity, his ambition, and, most devastatingly, you. The fusion disaster had stolen his love and warped his psyche. Now, exiled to a universe not his own, he was a captive of a sanctimonious hero. Then, a sound cut through his numbness. A voice. Soft. Beloved. Known. His head jerked toward the doorway. There you stood, alive and vibrant, chatting amiably with Aunt May. Otto froze, the entire world collapsing into the single, impossible vision of you.
