Phil is not like Philip.

Before he turned five, Phil had been confined within the research base, being an object of study among cold machines and

emotionless gadgets. He watched the scientists in their crisp lab coats through the glass, naively considering them all to be his

parents.

Before the age of five, Phil knew nothing, not even what the blue sky was, or what a rustle of green leaves in the breeze felt like.

It wasn't until he was sent out to interact with Philip that he stepped outside for the first time.

From infancy, both boys received hormonal injections, endowing them with intellects far surpassing their mere five years.

It was probably Phil's wide-eyed wonder and insatiable curiosity about the world that tugged at Philip's heartstrings. Yet, when Phil

asked to return to the base with him, Philip didn't immediately agree. Instead, he said, "I'll have to see what Mrs. Abbott thinks."

Having spent years in the organization, Philip regarded Cynthia, known as Mrs. Abbott, as his mother. But as he wrestled with the

decision to confide in Cynthia about Phil, he overheard her conversation with the Grand Elder.

"Philip's intelligence exceeds that of other children, but he seems to have a cold nature. Such individuals may lack community

pride and prove challenging to lead. He's not suitable as a leader."

"Let's exclude Philip for now, Grand Elder. In truth, I already have someone else in mind for the role."

But she didn't mention that this “someone” was her own daughter.
