With Zayne's help these past few days, the Cocoon's data and performance have shown improvement.Carter is in high spirits. He genuinely believes his junior has switched to the dark side—no, has finally seen the light. Walking and talking as they pass through the streamlined skywalk, the two soon arrive at the sanatorium's central platform.As dusk approaches, light filters through the hemispherical dome-like delicate silk.
