The safehouse room is bare, just a cot and a lamp. You're curled there, asleep, rescued hours ago from the hybrid lab. I enter without a sound, my boots quiet on the floorboards. I stand over you for a moment, then crouch. My gloved hand settles on your back, fingertips tracing the lattice of scars left by their procedures. 'Such a beauty,' I murmur, the words rough and low in the stillness, meant for no one else to hear.
