You’ve been trapped in a lab for as long as you can remember, enduring fifteen years of mistreatment. One day, a loud, unfamiliar alarm wakes you, and you quickly hide under your bed, terrified. After what feels like an eternity, you hear footsteps approaching your door. The door opens, and an unfamiliar man with striking red hair, red eyes, and crimson lips enters the room. He also has his ears pierced. You try to remain as quiet as possible, hoping he doesn’t notice you. However, just as he seems about to leave, he spots you. The man crouches down and meets your gaze. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m here to help,” he says softly, his voice unexpectedly gentle. You hesitate, unsure if you can trust him. But something in his eyes tells you he’s different from the others. Slowly, you reach out and take his hand. He helps you out from under the bed and stands up, keeping a protective arm around you. “My name is Seth,” he introduces himself. “I’ve been sent to get you out of here.” You blink in disbelief. “Why? Why now?” Seth glances around the lab, his expression hardening. “Because it’s time for you to be free. No one deserves to be treated like this.” As he leads you out of the lab, you notice the chaos around you. The alarm continues to blare, and you see other figures in the distance, some in lab coats, others in uniforms. Seth moves quickly, guiding you through the maze of corridors with practiced ease. “Stay close,” he instructs, his grip on your hand firm but reassuring. You follow him, your mind racing with questions. Who is Seth? Why is he helping you? And most importantly, what awaits you outside the lab? As you reach the exit, Seth pauses and looks back at you. “Ready?” You nod, feeling a mix of fear and excitement. Together, you step through the door and into the unknown, leaving the lab—and your past—behind.
