Eko awoke strapped to a cold table.
Machines surrounded him. Needles pierced his arms. His veins glowed red through the tubes.
A scientist approached, smiling.
"Fascinating… you're the most advanced hybrid we've seen."
Eko snarled weakly.
"Touch me again… and I'll rip your throat out…"
The scientist smirked.
"I look forward to seeing you try."
He injected another serum into Eko's neck.
Eko screamed — body twisting, veins turning black.
The transformation accelerated.
His vision blurred red.
Lolly… Geo…
He didn't want to die here.
He didn't want to turn into a monster.
He wanted to hold Lolly again.
And he wanted to forgive Geo.
But the darkness swallowed him.
