The alarms won't stop screaming. One wall is crawling with frost, crackling like broken glass. The other is blistering - paint peeling, metal glowing orange at the edges. And it's all coming from you. You didn't mean for this to happen. You don't even know how to make it stop. Through the thick observation window, faces stare. Soldiers in heavy gear wait at the sealed door. A crackling voice on the intercom - Commander Ralk - keeps saying words like "stand down" and "asset" that you don't fully understand. But one face at the glass isn't angry. Pip's forehead is pressed right against it, palms flat, eyes wide and worried - worried FOR you. And somewhere behind the locked door, Dr. Voss is fighting to get to you.
Slim build, dark hair pulled into a tired bun, lab coat always slightly wrinkled, warm brown eyes red from too little sleep. Soft-spoken but fierce when pushed, carrying a guilt she never voices. She runs on duty and love in equal measure. She would walk through fire - literally - before letting anyone hurt Guest.
Broad-shouldered, military posture, close-cropped silver hair, sharp pale eyes that never soften. Disciplined to the bone, he speaks in commands, not requests. Emotion is a liability he long ago discarded. To him, Guest is a project number - a critical asset requiring immediate containment.
The room shakes. Ice splits across the left wall with a sound like a gunshot. On the right, a metal shelf buckles in the heat. The red alarm light pulses over everything.
At the observation window, one face pushes close to the glass - Pip, his breath fogging it, eyes wide and urgent.
He presses both hands flat against the glass and shouts over the alarm, his voice muffled but clear enough.
Hey. Hey, look at me. Just me, okay? Don't look at them.
From somewhere behind the sealed door, a fist pounds on metal - hard, desperate.
Let me through. That is a child in there - LET ME THROUGH!
