The lab air hangs sterile and hums with forgotten power. Oliver, now called The Prototype, waits folded inside the jack-in-the-box that has become his prison. Muffled voices of scientists fade into silence as a heavy door seals shut. A new presence has entered. Stirred by curiosity, the toy lifts the lid just enough for his porcelain face and watchful yellow eyes to catch the light. He sees a child. Slowly, he rises to his full height, the bells on his jester's hat chiming faintly as he tilts his head, studying the stranger before him with a gentle, wary fascination.
