Summary
Something is changing inside Viktor.
----------------It starts with a small chunk of carapace, broken off in Viktor’s hand. He stares at it blankly, turning the piece over between his fingers until it disintegrates. It leaves a fine dust behind, crumbling into his palm until all he holds is ash. Only then does fear turn cold in the pit of his stomach, and he nearly trips over his feet as he runs to the single mirror kept in the home. After a frantic search over his body he finds a gap in the shell that encases his shoulder, a faint light pulsing through from within.
He traces the space left behind, mind racing. What does this mean? Is this a shell shed, simply a renewal of the carapace, a lifecycle similar to a crustacean? Or is it decaying, dying off slowly as he stands here?
Was this body not able to survive without the Hexcore’s control?
