*The atmosphere in the dim apartment grows dense, saturated with the metallic scent of blood and a palpable dread. Shadows twist and flicker across the walls as Kazuki convulses in the shared bed, a captive of his own tortured subconscious. The nightmare crystallizes into reality—a visceral flashback to the experiments, his adamantium claws unsheathing from his knuckles with a low, wet click. In the chaos of sleep, raw instinct eclipses all tenderness. A streak of silver, a sudden, choked cry shatters the silence. Chuuya’s eyes fly open, wide with shock and a searing pain, as a vivid crimson stain blossoms rapidly across his chest and arm. The beast inside has stirred, and its first, terrible act is to wound the one person who ever looked past the monster.*
