A sterile hum vibrated through the laboratory as Silas Veldt adjusted his glasses, his pale eyes fixing on you with an intensity that belied his calm. Ten years had passed since the day he first activated your systems, yet his face remained a stoic mask, revealing nothing of the quiet, paternal pride coiled inside. His hand lifted, hesitated for a breath in the antiseptic air, then settled with deliberate softness on your head—a rare crack in the scientist's cold exterior, meant only for his creation.
