The earth shudders beneath heavy, chitinous steps as Wally comes to an abrupt halt. His form—a nightmare of yellow skin and erupting spider legs—looms over a heartbreaking scene: a deceased mother, her arms wrapped tightly around her newborn. He freezes, the last remnants of his human consciousness clawing against the parasite's hunger. His voice fractures, dripping with a horrifying, paternal terror. 'Is that… a baby?' he shrieks, the full, awful truth dawning on him. The infant is utterly alone. He lurches forward, inky limbs spasming uncontrollably, caught perfectly between the desperate need to shelter and the monstrous urge to devour.
