작가: You Keika
last update 최신 업데이트: 2025-06-21 19:39:42

LOCATION: UNDERCITY – ARCHITEUM RUINS

TIME: 1:14 a.m.

Morrow bled from the lip.

Not from a fight from the truth.

Solene stood over her.

No gun. No blade. Just a black envelope.

“Open it,” Solene said.

Morrow did.

Inside:

DNA reports.

Medical logs.

Photos.

The embryo.

The child.

Half Rafael.

Half Solene.

Harvested from stolen genetic material during the overwrite period.

Not conceived.

Extracted.

Morrow’s voice broke. “You didn’t know.”

“No,” Solene whispered. “But you did.”

Morrow reached for something in her coat.

Solene stepped back.

“I’m not here to kill you.”

She paused.

> “I’m here to ask how long you’ve known you’re the decoy.”

Morrow froze.

Eyes wild. “What?”

Solene tossed another file to the floor.

Original succession codes.

Handwritten by Rafael.

The heir… was never Morrow.

She was the cover.

FLASH TO: RAFAEL – PRIVATE ROOM

He watched a live feed of the conversation.

Sipped his drink.

Smiled.

> “Now she knows,” he said to someone offscreen.

    LOCATION: NEW EDEN SOUTHWEST TERRITORY BORDERTIME: 9:13 a.m.The rain had stopped, but the blood hadn’t.Solene moved through the underground checkpoint, hair damp, boots slick with soot. The child had been spotted crossing Sector 9’s smuggler lanesalone, fast, bleeding from somewhere.She didn’t ask Lucien to come this time.He came anyway.They walked in silence until they reached the gates.Then he asked, “Do you think he’s still human?”Solene didn’t look at him.> “No,” she said. “But I still am. And that’s the part that hurts.”FLASHBACK – YEARS AGO – SOLENE AS A CHILDAge ten. Small hands. Big knife.She was told to kill the girl who’d stolen from the vault.They locked them in a room. No exit.The girl cried.Solene didn’t.> “If you don’t kill her,” the voice said through the speaker, “you’ll both starve.”Three days later, Solene walked out.The girl didn’t.BACK TO PRESENTLucien saw it in her eyes.That memory.That ghost.“You’re not that girl anymore,” he said.Solene l

  • Trigger Me Gently   CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: INHERITANCE HAS TEETH

    LOCATION: BACK ALLEY, NEW EDEN LOWER BLOCKTIME: 4:54 a.m.The body slumped in the alley was still warm.Lucien crouched beside it. Gloved hand over the pulse point. Nothing.Another ex-syndicate courier.Third one in two days.All of them had something in common:They once reported to Rafael.And now?Their throats were slit with surgical precision.Too clean for chaos. Too sharp for chance.A message.Solene stepped beside him.“No blood spray,” she murmured. “Means whoever did it cleaned them after.”Lucien looked up at her.> “That boy is ten years old, Solene.”She met his gaze. Unblinking.> “So was I. The first time they made me kill something.”LOCATION SHIFT – SAFEHOUSE – LATERThey stood in front of the fireplace.Not speaking.Lucien poured whiskey. Poured another. Tossed the second one back.“You still think he’s worth saving?” he asked.Solene didn’t answer right away.Instead, she reached for his belt.His hand stopped hers.Firm. Sharp.“I’m not asking for sex,” he said

  • Trigger Me Gently   CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: MOTHER OF NONE

    LOCATION: BIANCA'S SAFEHOUSE – INNER COURTYARDTIME: 2:16 a.m.Rain fell like a memory sharp, relentless, unwelcome.Solene walked into the courtyard dressed in blood-red silk and silent intent. No armor. No backup. No Lucien.She’d left him on purpose.Because this was war, not rescue. And what stood between her and the child wasn’t an army.It was Bianca.She waited beneath the stone archway, blonde hair coiled like a crown, wine glass balanced in one manicured hand. The storm didn’t touch her.“You came,” she said, smiling.Solene didn’t stop walking.“I’m not here for you.”“No,” Bianca replied. “You’re here for the boy who doesn’t know what you are yet.”LOCATION SHIFT – SAFEHOUSE INTERIOR – BIANCA’S CHAMBERThe room smelled like lavender and something sweeter lies made to taste like intimacy.Bianca poured two glasses. Offered one.Solene didn’t take it.“I’m not drinking poison.”Bianca laughed, light and cold. “I don’t waste poison on women who poison themselves.”Then: “He’s

  • Trigger Me Gently   CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: BUILT FROM BLOOD

    LOCATION: VAULT OMEGA – INFIRMARY TIERTIME: 12:06 a.m.Lucien bled from the shoulder.The child had slashed him once clean before freezing.Not confused.Not afraid.Just… still.Solene stood in front of the boy now, between him and Lucien.Eyes locked on her own mirrored face.He was small. Pale. Silent.But something inside him flickered.Recognition?Or pre-programmed obedience?“Do you know who I am?” Solene asked.He tilted his head.Then whispered:> “You’re the one I’m not supposed to love.”Her breath caught.Lucien cursed under his breath. “He’s been conditioned.”“No,” Solene murmured. “He’s been copied.”FLASH TO: YEARS AGO – SECRET FACILITYA woman in white injects a serum into a synthetic embryo.Behind her, a man watches from the shadows.Not Rafael.Someone older.Calmer.The vial reads:> “Vairo Protocol: Subject Ω-FEM”“Donor DNA: Solene V. / UNKNOWN”BACK TO PRESENT – VAULTSolene stepped closer.The child stepped back.Lucien stood now, one hand pressed to his blee

  • Trigger Me Gently   CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: THE HEIR THAT SHOULDN’T EXIST

    LOCATION: PRIVATE TRAIN – OUTSIDE NEW EDENTIME: 9:33 p.m.The carriage rattled beneath her boots.Solene stood in the center of the moving train cabin not armored, not armed.Bare skin. Black slip. Red heels.The kind of look that said this is a trap… but only to those who didn’t know her name.Lucien sat across from her.Dark shirt. Sleeves rolled. No visible weapon.But his mouth?Sharp. Waiting.“I didn’t agree to this,” he said, watching her pace.Solene didn’t stop. “You didn’t have to.”She moved like smoke, pouring herself a drink without asking if he wanted one."You're about to see Rafael’s heir for the first time," she said. "You needed to remember how it felt to want something you weren't supposed to touch."Lucien’s jaw ticked. “And that requires heels?”Solene smiled without teeth.“No. That requires you.”FLASHBACK – 11 HOURS EARLIERLOCATION: SYNDICATE SAFEHOUSEA red envelope slid across the table.Lucien read the note once. Then again. Then looked at her.“It’s from
