The mother and son pair reluctantly stepped aside but didn't leave. They merely stood at the door. At that moment, Rourke spoke from his hospital bed. "Let them in." I was furious at the command but followed Betsy’s cue. She had remained calm as she patted my hand and lowered her head to look at her phone. Once Samantha entered and closed the door, I could hear what seemed like crying from inside. Betsy and I exchanged glances. She scoffed, "So melodramatic!"

The "Gold-Grey Static" from the CEO woman hit Silas Blackwood like a wave of conceptual acid. It wasn't the "Biological Remorse" he was used to; it was a "Synthetic Grief"—a simulated version of his own 30-year pride, amplified and distorted by the human’s unstable marrow. Silas fell to his knees on the white-glass floor, his gold-and-sapphire skin "glitching" as the human’s parasitic hunger tried to "Down-sample" his soul.

"Doctor, that’s... that’s impossible. Insects don't live in living tissue. They need oxygen. They need—" "They don't need what we need, Elias," he interrupted, snapping the film onto the lightbox.
