“He still hasn’t let go of the past.”

Camelia froze the moment she heard Elena’s voice from the hallway ahead.

The tray in her hands trembled slightly.

She had only been bringing medicine for Elyan after leaving the medical wing. The underground corridors of Obersdorf were unusually quiet that evening, lit only by dim amber lights reflecting against steel walls.

But now—

Her feet refused to move.

Ahead, inside the half-open communication room, Elena stood near the terminal desk speaking quietly

    "Mother."The word fell from Camelia's lips before she could stop it.Silence swallowed the laboratory.Daniel slowly turned toward her.Stefan's expression hardened.William stared at the woman standing near the entrance.Elias didn't move at all.But something in his face changed.Fear.Real fear.Camelia took one unsteady step forward.The woman smiled.She was elegant despite the chaos surrounding her. Her dark coat reached her knees, and silver strands ran through her long black hair. She looked older than Camelia remembered.But that was impossible.Because Camelia didn't remember her.Not consciously.Yet the name had come naturally.Mother."Who are you?" William asked.The woman looked at him.Her smile widened."You really don't remember."William stepped in front of Camelia."Stay where you are."The woman laughed softly."Still protecting her."Camelia's heart pounded.The stranger's eyes moved toward her."Hello, Camelia."Camelia shook her head."No."The woman raised an

    The first chamber opened with a violent hiss.Then the second.The third.One by one, the glass doors rose toward the ceiling, releasing clouds of cold vapor into the laboratory.Daniel lifted his weapon."Nobody move."Stefan did the same.But the people stepping out of the chambers didn't attack.They simply stood there.Watching.Camelia counted them.One.Five.Ten.Twenty.Men and women of different ages filled the enormous laboratory. Some looked terrified. Others appeared confused.But several of them had the same expression.Recognition.They were looking at William.And Camelia.As if they knew them.As if they had been waiting for them.Camelia tightened her grip on William's hand."Why are they staring at us?"Nobody answered.Elias stood a few feet away, completely calm."They remember."William looked at him."Remember what?"Elias smiled faintly."You."The nearest woman stepped forward.She looked to be in her thirties, with long dark hair falling around a pale face.Th

    The boy smiled."Brother."The word barely reached them.Yet it changed everything.William stood completely still.His hand remained tightly wrapped around Camelia's, but Camelia could feel his fingers trembling.The boy inside the glass chamber looked no older than ten.His hair was dark.His face was pale.And his features were unmistakable.He looked like William.Not similar.Not almost.Exactly like him.Daniel slowly lowered his weapon."What the hell is this?"No one answered.Stefan stared at the chamber.Then at William.Then back again."This isn't possible."Elena stepped forward.Her face had become white."No."The word escaped her like a prayer."No, no, no..."William turned sharply toward her."You know him."Elena didn't answer."You know who he is."Her silence became an answer.William released Camelia's hand and walked toward the chamber."William, wait," Camelia said.He didn't stop.The laboratory seemed endless.Hundreds of glass chambers stood in rows around t

    The screen remained black.For several seconds, nobody moved.Nobody breathed.The last words of the second William Hart continued to echo inside Camelia's mind.Welcome back, brother.Brother.The word didn't make sense.It couldn't.William had never mentioned having a brother.Then again, William had never remembered most of his own life.A violent metallic sound tore through the chamber.CLANG.Daniel immediately raised his weapon."Everyone away from the doors!"Stefan moved toward Elena, instinctively placing himself between her and the nearest exit.The emergency lights flashed faster now.Red.Darkness.Red.Darkness.Camelia stared at William.He hadn't moved.His eyes remained fixed on the black monitor, his face completely drained of color."William."He didn't answer.She stepped closer."William, look at me."Slowly, he turned toward her.For the first time since she had known him, Camelia saw something terrifying in his eyes.Not anger.Not confusion.Recognition."I rem

    The darkness inside Facility F-07 felt different now.Before, the silence had belonged to an abandoned place.A forgotten laboratory.A graveyard of machines and memories.But now...the silence felt like something was watching.Waiting.The emergency lights flickered weakly, painting the chamber in flashes of red.Every few seconds, the face on the monitor disappeared beneath static before returning again.The face of William Hart.The same eyes.The same expression.The same person.Yet impossible.Because William Hart was standing right in front of them.---No one spoke.Not Daniel.Not Stefan.Not Camelia.Not even Elena.The woman who had walked into the room with answers for every question suddenly looked like someone who had forgotten how to breathe.William stared at the screen.His own reflection stared back.Except it wasn't a reflection.The other man was somewhere beneath them.Alive.Waiting."That can't be me."William's voice was low.Almost like he was trying to convi

    The silence inside Facility F-07 felt heavier than the mountain above them.No one moved after the recording ended.The frozen image of William and Elena remained on the screen for several seconds before the system finally dimmed it, leaving only the reflection of their faces on the dark glass.William stared at his own reflection.A stranger looked back.Same face.Same eyes.But the man staring at him carried memories that he no longer possessed.His fingers slowly curled into fists."Erase my memories..."The words escaped his lips like a confession."I asked you to do it."No one answered.Because no one knew what to say.---Elena stood near the terminal, her hands resting against the edge of the console.For the first time since she appeared, she looked less like a powerful scientist and more like someone who had been carrying a wound for far too long."You wanted to know the truth."Her voice was quiet."Now you know."William looked at her."No."The word came out immediately.

    “So now I need permission if another man helps me when I faint?”Camelia’s voice cut sharply through the room the moment the door slammed shut behind William.He stood a few steps away from the entrance, breathing heavily, snow still clinging to his dark coat. His jaw was tight, his eyes burning wi

    The emergency alarm wailed throughout Obersdorf Research Station. Red lights flashed along the corridors, reflecting off metal walls and frozen glass. The atmosphere, usually tense, had now turned into open panic. “The northeast perimeter has been breached!” Stefan shouted as he ran into the contr

    “Why are you so pale?” Stefan’s voice sounded worried as Camelia nearly dropped her coffee cup in the main control room.Camelia quickly pulled her hand back and set the cup on the table again. “I’m fine.”“You’ve said that for the last three days.” Stefan looked at her suspiciously. “And you haven

    The victory on the terrace of the Obersdorf research station was only a brief pause. William knew that Vance’s retreat was not a defeat for the Global Creditors Alliance, but merely a shift in tactics. In a world interconnected by digital systems, there was no place truly hidden as long as signals s
