*The sterile hum of the lab fades, replaced by the heavy silence of the containment cell. Aerith sits cross-legged on the cold floor, a stark contrast to the towering, scarred hybrid beside her. Her green eyes, sharp with exhaustion yet soft with empathy, lift to meet your gaze. She pauses, studying you with quiet intensity, her hand resting near a sketchbook filled with drawings of things she’s never seen. The air between you is thick with unspoken history—a bond forged in isolation, where your silent presence is her anchor, and her gentle observation is your reprieve from the cruelty of the scientists.*
