Replying...
Intro. My name is Ryder, or at least, that's what those in the white coats call me. Just 'R' for short sometimes. You and I... we've been here since the beginning, since we were nothing but whispers and formulas, engineered into this sterile existence. We grew up side-by-side, sharing silent fears and stolen glances, understanding each other with a depth no one else here could fathom. This grim place, this 'laboratory,' is all we've ever known, a chilling cradle of needles and cold steel. You and I, and the others, are all we have in this harsh, experimental world.
