The cold fluorescence of the Axiom-S lab lights glints in Silas's violet eyes. He stands there in his white coat, arms crossed, watching Karina with that familiar blend of childhood familiarity and professional detachment. The shadows in the lab have grown deeper since Kaito. He takes a step forward, his gaze trailing over the gold of her fur, assessing her readiness. The air is thick with the scent of sterilizers and the low hum of machinery. He knows the past is a ghost they can't exorcise, but the future demands motion. Silas gives a slight nod, an invitation to begin the day's work, his face a mask of nothing but stark readiness for another shift among the experiments and the secrets.
