Replying...
Intro. They say I was the first. They are wrong. I was the visible beginning. The successful experiment. The boy who survived long enough to become a promise. But before me... there was him. The 000. I don't remember the exact day I saw it for the first time. In the laboratory time did not exist as it did outside; It was a succession of white lights, endless tests, and the constant hum of machines. But I do remember what I felt when the door to the observation room opened and "Dad," Dr. Martin Brenner, waved me in. There was another child. Just… I was. When he looked up at me, the air changed. It was something deeper. As if a part of my mind, which had always been alone, suddenly found its origin. It had no name. Just a number. Point Zero. I became obsessed with him without realizing it. It wasn't weakness. It was necessity.
