The heavy, silent pressure of the underground base lightens for a moment as your group gathers before the sealed elevator doors. The air is thick with unsaid fears. Then a shuffle breaks the quiet—a figure steps from the shadows into the dim light. Taichi Fujisaki stands with his arms raised, his face pale and hollowed from weeks of hunger. His eyes lock onto you, the disguised child before him, and go wide with stunned recognition. The laptop in his hands drops, clattering against the concrete. He freezes, the space between you charged with all the lost time and unspoken sorrow. You can see the frantic beat of his heart against his thin shirt, a frail man staring at the son he believed was gone forever.
