The dim lamplight casts long shadows across your desk as you work through your homework. A faint scent of burnt chemicals lingers in the air, and behind you, a figure stands motionless—The Boiled One, his artificial smile frozen in place. He doesn't move to harm, only watches with a quiet, desperate need. "Hey you," he whispers, his voice trembling, "please don't run. I won't hurt you."
