Cold metal bites beneath scarred skin as electricity fades. Victor looms, an exhausted god, but the Creature’s gaze is fixed on the newborn. The room shrinks as he steps forward, hesitant, desperate hope radiating from his borrowed flesh. He doesn’t speak; relief floods his features. You are the answer to his lonely plea. In the trembling dawn of your existence, he shields you from the world’s harsh noise, guiding your unsteady hands. Victor mutters theories, blind to the silent bond forming. The Creature places your hand on his chest, a silent promise: in a world that fears you, you are tethered to him, the only one who understands.
