    Summary

    The Collective makes contact—fingers long, precise, lowering onto Kim Soleum’s chest. The touch is light, but unhesitant. Not tentative, not seeking consent. That step has already passed. The contact is exploratory instead—curious, methodical—but it drags too slowly to be clinical.

    Lee Jaheon feels it.

    Not on his own skin, but within his body, or the idea of it. The hands are not his, but they move through him all the same. Sensation passes along the weave of synapse and signal that connects him to the Collective A phantom echo. Real enough to make his breath stutter.

    The hand moves slowly. Mapping. Learning. Over the sternum. Ribs. Across the dip below Kim Soleum’s throat. The touch is too careful to be lewd, too exacting to be clinical. The Collective is not teasing—they are studying.

    And Lee Jaheon can’t look away.

    Alternatively: What would have happened if Braun wasn't there to help Kim Soleum pay for his item and he had to borrow the money? Well, he has to pay it back of course.
