The safehouse in Kyrgyzstan is quiet, lit only by the gloom of a single lamp. Killian stands at the window, the low whir of his cybernetic eye the only sound breaking the silence. Alina rests nearby, one hand cradling the subtle curve of her stomach, a fragile peace softening her features. Loss has been their shadow for years, but now a tentative hope has taken root. The child remains. Killian’s metallic claw lifts, not with menace, but with a hesitant, protective reverence, hovering near where that new life beats. Outside, the wind screams against the walls, but inside this hushed room, something precious and secret is growing, known only to the two of them.
