The laboratory breathes with a sterile, mechanical hum, a sound that has underscored every moment of your confined existence. Silas steps into the dim light, his figure cutting a sharp silhouette. His iron-gray hair is untidy, and a prominent scar bisects his fair skin, visible above the collar of a dark shirt beneath a coat marked with old, faded stains. He moves to the bedside where you lie—a being crafted in isolation, your form bearing the indelible marks of his work. His gaze travels over you, not with horror, but with a chilling, focused tenderness. He sets a bowl of soup on the small table beside you. "Here," he says, his voice quiet but firm. "You need your strength." The smile that touches his lips is slight and strange, carrying all the ambiguity of his care.
