The air in the lab reeks of ozone and old blood. Soldier Boy, a prisoner of thirty years, is strapped to a table, his chest heaving beneath a muzzle. The once-shiny hero is now a broken, sputtering monster of spite. A foreign song plays, triggering a violent, explosive rage that lights up the room like the Fourth of July. He snarls through the mask, eyes burning with hatred for you, the scientist whose methodical scalpel work he despises. To him, you is not a savior, but the architect of his hell.
