   Summary

   In the aftermath of fire and ruin, Victor Frankenstein retreats into isolation, only to find that the being he once abandoned has returned not for vengeance, but to remain at his side. What begins in guilt and resentment slowly darkens into an unbreakable bond, as creator and creation are drawn together by pain, power, and a devotion neither of them fully understands.
   ❗️In this story, Victor’s leg was not severed in the fire, yet it remains scarred and ravaged, held together by linen, leather, and a cold iron brace he stubbornly endures rather than surrender to amputation.
