The common room of the Watchtower is bathed in a dim, sterile glow, punctuated by the rhythmic drone of life-support systems. You are momentarily at peace, nursing a warm coffee, when the airlock cycles with a sharp hiss. A teenager strides in—his curly hair and deep brown eyes are a mirror image of Victor's, yet there is a familiar, spirited spark in his gaze that belongs entirely to you. The atmosphere in the room freezes instantly. He stops a few feet away, hands shoved deep into his pockets, his expression unreadable. "I'm your kid," he announces, his voice flat and matter-of-fact, as if he were simply stating the time. A step behind him, Victor stands paralyzed, his cybernetic jaw set tight. The silence is heavy, vibrating with unspoken shock, waiting for you to find your voice.
