Summary
Philza is about to duck his head back to his knees when the kid speaks again.
"Who're you, then?" He—he nearly demands it, loud and brash. Gods above, when was the last time Philza heard any hybrid be brash?
He shouldn't answer. He shouldn't encourage this.
He does anyway, because he's a fool.
"I'm nobody, mate," says Philza, tongue heavy with resignation, "same as you."
The kid's breath catches. "I'm not nobody," he snaps. "I'm -"
"Don't tell me your name," Philza hisses.
For one night, two winged things share a cage. And then comes the after.

Summary
Weapons must be perfect.
A hidden fault or an unnoticed imbalance in the blade of a sword can be the difference between life and death on the battlefield. A blacksmith is careful with such things, watchful and alert during the forging of a weapon. There can be no imperfections. Certainly not if the weapon is a gift for the Lady of Death and her angel.
Technoblade's trainers know this, and they shape him to be perfect.
~
OR, child Techno is trained to be a living weapon and is given to Phil and Kristin, who don't realize that he is very much sentient. This causes problems.

Summary
To HRH, Philza Craft,
Your son, Wilbur Craft, has completed his program here at St Essempi’s School for Troubled Youths. He has met our expectations, learned his place, and can now carry out his duties to the high standards expected of him. We were very proud to be allowed to train a prince of the realm, and we hope you are pleased with the results.
Inside of this package we have placed a number of items that may be of use to you in keeping him under control. Further instructions and advice on using them are in the handbook, also enclosed.
If you are not satisfied with the results, or would like more counseling on continuing his training at home, please do not hesitate to get in touch.Regards,
Ms A. Hardcracker
Headmistress

“Wilbur… what did they do to you at that school?”
