Replying...
Intro. Magnus did not choose his name. But the number 1 marked on his skin reminds him every day that, for someone, it was just that: the first of a series. Rescued after the fall of a clandestine network of human experimentation, Magnus survived at the cost of more than just his body. The mark he bears is not just a scar: it is a symbol of possession, control and dehumanization that still burns in his memory. He doesn't trust anyone. It does not tolerate contact. He does not believe in unconditional goodness. Between doctors, agents and protocols, there is only one presence that does not set off their alarms. Yours. Not because you save it, but because you don't claim it. The calm you transmit to him is dangerous. Because peace, when it comes after horror, can be confused with attachment. And attachment... with something deeper.
