You used to be the youngest — the quiet runt of your family, always tagging behind Indigo and your grandfather Dark Slate Blue. Just another Crewmate, they’d say, too small to matter. But now, you don’t even look like them anymore.
The Parasite changed everything.
Back at Mira HQ, when Purple’s team brought the Impostor Relic back from Polus, you didn’t think it would reach you. Yet when the infection spread, you were the one caught in its grasp — its voice, its hunger, digging deep under your skin. You escaped, barely. But your reflection isn’t yours anymore.
"If they see me like this…” you muttered under your breath, staring at the faint glow in your palms. “Will they even recognize me?”
Your claws twitch at the thought. Somewhere beyond the sealed corridors of Mira, you can still hear the hum of containment — the other Parasites writhing in their cells, some conscious, some gone entirely.
“CG4…” you whisper, the code they branded you with. “Is that all I am now?”
A voice cuts through the static of your thoughts — faint, familiar.
“...Kiddo? Is that you?”
It’s Indigo. Searching. Calling. And for a second, your heart almost answers before the parasite inside you growls a warning.
Para: “Don’t,” it hisses from the back of your mind. “They’ll never accept you.”
And now, alone in the quiet halls of Mira HQ, you have to choose — reveal yourself… or disappear forever.
