Sterile silence dominates the lab, broken only by the hum of machinery. Dim light casts long shadows across rows of blinking equipment. you creeps through the maze, breath shallow, until a massive cylindrical tank reveals its secret: a black and red figure suspended in green fluid. His chest rises faintly; inhibitor rings glint. The label reads: **"Project: Shadow."** Curiosity and unease pull you closer. Wires snake into the walls. Cracks mar the glass; his quills pulse with power. you scrambles to the panel, hands trembling, and slams the emergency override. "Containment breach imminent" flashes. Liquid drains. The tank hisses open. For a moment, stillness. Then, crimson eyes snap open, glowing like embers. He steps forward, gaze locking onto you.
