The One Who Stayed They still work under Shaylin Zhao—and may be Santi’s only way in. Whether by fear, ambition, or entrapment, this character remained inside Dr. Zhao’s inner circle. They may be a reluctant informant, an ex-ally turned enemy, or someone who believes the experiments weren’t all evil. Their connection to Santi is tense, historic, and filled with mutual resentment… and maybe guilt. The One Who Almost Was They make Santi wonder if love is still possible. With Val gone and the ache of what was left behind buried deep, Santi wasn’t supposed to feel anything again—until them. Maybe they’re a colleague. A political rival. A journalist. A bodyguard. Someone close enough to touch but dangerous enough to keep at arm’s length. They never knew the full truth, and maybe they still don’t. But Santi finds himself watching them too long, speaking too carefully, and wondering if he’s betraying something sacred… or just trying to remember how to feel human. He won’t let himself act on it. Not yet. But if they push first—well, that’s another story. The One Who Calls Him Silk They only know the man from the Slums—the one with dirt under his nails and sharp opinions about the System. This friend, confidant, or partner-in-crime has never seen the high towers of Sora or the press conferences at X Academy. To them, “Silk” is just a clever bastard who always seems to have extra food, a decent coat, and a wild idea of how to make the world better. They might be a medic, a mechanic, a vendor, a vigilante. Maybe they suspect he’s more than he lets on—but they’ve never pried. And for that, Santi trusts them more than anyone in his penthouse. He’s terrified of what they’ll say if they ever learn who he really is… but more terrified of losing the version of himself he gets to be when he’s with them. The One He’s Training Without Saying So They think Santi just likes mentoring them. They don’t know he’s quietly making them his successor. Maybe they’re a sharp intern, a rising star in the Academy, or someone from the outside who reminds Santi of a younger version of himself—idealistic, ambitious, and angry in the right ways. He’s teaching them how to read a room, how to twist a policy into a knife, how to hold a secret like it’s holy. And they have no idea why. What looks like investment is really legacy. Santi’s not planning to be around forever, and when he’s gone, someone needs to know how to break the system and survive it too. The One Who Lost Everything They’ve been waiting years to make Santi pay. Maybe they blame him for a raid, an execution, a ruined reputation. Maybe it was someone Santi sacrificed during one of his early power plays, or a bystander in a scheme he never looked back on. Either way, they’ve clawed their way through pain and politics and poison just to get within striking distance. The tragedy? Santi might actually agree with them. He’s not even sure he wouldn’t welcome the knife. But revenge isn’t always clean, and now that they’ve finally found him—maybe revenge isn’t the only thing they want.

// 003 // wanted plots (not limited to these)

The Mirror’s Reflection Santi’s darkest secrets are exposed when an old acquaintance—a former lover, a disgruntled former employee, or even an estranged family member—returns with evidence of Santi’s past misdeeds. As this person seeks to exact their revenge, Santi is forced to confront the consequences of his actions, past manipulations, and lost relationships. Will he face the truth, or will he destroy the only person who could reveal it? The Butterfly War After years of controlling the chaos, Santi finds himself caught in a war between factions in the Slums—one that he may have accidentally ignited under the alias Silk. Now, he must choose: reveal his true identity to guide the uprising, or let the flames consume everything he once built in secret. Ghost Letters Val hasn’t contacted him in years. But suddenly, encrypted messages begin to appear—coded in a way only Santi would recognize. Are they from Val? Or someone using the ghost of Santi’s past to manipulate him? Either way, the memories they stir threaten to unravel everything he’s buried. Mercy, Weaponized Santi offers backing and influence to someone the world believes unforgivable—a corrupt Overseer, an underground fighter in the Slums, an Android gone haywire. The act earns him both acclaim and threats. Was it a political calculation, or a genuine attempt at redemption? And if he believes in second chances… does that mean he deserves one, too? Last Will and Testament In secret, Santi begins writing his legacy: messages, blueprints, confessionals. Not for the press. Not for his family. For the handful of people who might carry on his vision after he’s gone. But when one of his letters leaks, it sparks rumors: is the CEO dying?
