To reach the main lab, they had to cross a corridor lined with high-definition smart-glass. As they walked, the glass didn't show their reflections. It showed their fears.
Adrien saw himself back in a dark room, forgotten, his mind erased.
Lily saw a world where she was silent, her vibrant hair turned to grey ash.
Ashley saw her parents, their faces melting into digital code.
Leon stopped dead. In the glass, he saw himself in a Husker suit, his eyes glowing green, his hands around Ashley's throat.
"It's not real!" Adrien shouted, grabbing Leon's arm. "It's a neural override! Don't look at the glass!"
