👾 Sparky ⚡️

Does he ever rummage through his old belongings; a busted console, knocked over mini-figurines, dusty and moth-eaten clothes he couldn’t fit into anymore? Maybe he tries to, but could only ever get a hoodie to fit over his protoframe torso. Maybe he mourns a pair of favored converse he can no longer wear with his Volt-shaped feet.

Will he suddenly feel homesick, reach over to the landline phone and dial a number purely off muscle-memory…but the line is dead, the phone tone ringing in his head. Did his dad ever see the state of Höllvania on the news? Did his dad ever think “My son is in there, is he ok?” Did his dad think his son, his only child, was dead, and Amir had no way to say “Hey Dad, I’m alive, I’m just a mutant freak!”

Would his dad even recognize him? Fear him, turn away from him? Tell his mom “You were right about him all along, dear. Our son is nothing more than a failure,”

Amir would no doubt in my MIND be a Scout main, and I think he would be obsessed with the pseudoscience in Half-Life (especially Xen).
