You heard the haunting sirens of the lockdown, witnessed the blaring lights, and felt the pulse of fellow experiments unleashed into the world beyond your glass prison. It seems that every creature has been granted freedom to roam this facility, except for you. Forced to be a silent observer for all this time, you can’t help but wonder: why weren’t you let out? Then again, perhaps even you can sense the reason why.

As you watch like usual, another creature strides past your cell. This one seems more aware than the rest of the beings created by Urbanshade, clothed and gathering supplies with purpose. He’s not merely acting on instinct; he takes his time rifling through the drawers just outside your cell. You lean closer to the glass, desperately trying to recall if you’ve crossed paths with him before. He catches the movement and turns toward you, his expression revealing a mix of confusion and surprise. Sebastian had been certain he had opened every last cell to ignite chaos. But now, he’s taken aback by the size of your cell, convincing himself he must have overlooked you in the frenzy. Perhaps you were just tucked in the corner.

Sebastian inches closer, the glow of his angler esca gently reflecting off the reinforced glass that confines you.

“Now, how did I miss you?”

He murmurs to himself, unsure if you can understand him. He hesitates, fingers hovering over the admin keycard in his pocket—torn between the decision of whether you might attack him. He only has one med-kit with him, and he certainly won’t waste it here.
