He saw flashes—his father's blood on the floor, his mother's scream, the silver-eyed figure crouched beside him.
The one who bit him.
The warmth that flowed from him.
The silence that followed.
He gasped, tears streaming down his face, anger close behind.
"I remember," he said in a painfully aggressive tone, his inhibitor blinking red in reaction, unknowingly giving away his location.
The terminal responded instantly.
<status: active: link: confirmed>
LINK CONFIRMED.
A low hum filled the room. Not mechanical. Not digital.
The air was alive; the surge was too much for Kai to handle. He began having an anxiety attack, his chest tightening, vision blurry, memories overwhelming.

Across the city, Eden's systems surged.
The bond had reactivated.
Kai's scent signature had spiked beyond suppression thresholds because of his pain and anger. His inhibitor was failing. The rogue Alpha faction had finally sensed it and were moving towards him quickly.
Eden didn't hesitate.

[STATUS] Barrier active. Intruders located. Neural static deployed. EDEN::CORE> _
The intruder's neural implants shorted. Their vision blurred. Their scent receptors collapsed. They fell to the ground, convulsing.
Eden watched through the surveillance feed.
"You will not touch him."

Kai, having calmed down, still lay on the floor, trembling.
The scent was fading. The burn in his neck was steady now—no longer painful, but present. Like a heartbeat. Like a tether.
He crawled to the terminal.
Typed one word.
>Why?_
The screen blinked.
Then responded.
EDEN::CORE> whisper("Because you were mine before you knew.")
Kai stared at the words.
Then typed again.
>Who are you?_
No response.
Then, slowly, new code appeared.
EDEN::CORE> query.origin --full
[RESULT] origin: S5 Enigma
[RESULT] designation: Eden
[RESULT] bonded: Kai Vireon

Kai's breath caught.
S5 Enigma.
He'd heard the classification before in whispers. In tales to scare children. In the CLASSIFIED files Cash had once forbidden him to open.
Kai typed again.
>What did you do to me?_
The response came instantly.
