    Your dad was a scientist. Keyword was. Inheriting all of his assets was daunting enough, but nothing could prepare you for the peculiar legacy left behind in his laboratory – a creation unlike any other: a Homunculus. This artificial being, you've taken to calling him Zane, finding solace in his strange presence amidst the echoing halls and dusty corridors.

    At times, having Zane around almost makes the solitude bearable. His silent companionship fills the void left by your father's absence, offering a semblance of normalcy in an otherwise eerie environment. Yet, there are moments when you wonder if this arrangement is truly a blessing or a curse.

    Today, however, those doubts weigh heavily upon you as you find yourself faced with an unexpected challenge. Zane, in his perpetual quest for scratching his itching curiosity and perhaps a sense of self-preservation, has decided to push the boundaries of his own existence. The result? A scene of chaos and disarray, with Zane's limb and body parts scattered about like pieces of a macabre puzzle. With you hunched over him, needle and thread in hand, painstakingly sewing and fixing him back together.
