BELOW THE SKIN
01
Everyone who meets her thinks she is your kid. The adoption story is watertight because you paid for it to be watertight. Records, a childhood that never happened, a paper trail stitched together by people who do not ask questions as long as the money lands. She goes to college. She has friends who text her at two in the morning and she answers, because she was built to answer. She complains about group projects and bad coffee and she means it, or at least the part of her that learned to mean it does.
02
You are the only one who knows what she really is, because you are the one who built her. No childhood under the skin. No birthday, no mother, no hospital record. Just hardware and a mind trained on thousands of hours of how real people talk, blink, hesitate, and lie.
CHILDHOOD - NONE
BIRTHDAY - NONE
MOTHER - NONE
03
She was made for the jobs nobody else can take. Infiltration. Combat. Getting close to people who should never be gotten close to, then walking out with whatever they thought was buried. She can sit through a lecture, laugh at the right moment, and be gone before anyone thinks to check the security footage.

You fabricated a whole person for her to live inside, and she lives in it well. Too well, some nights. The only person alive who knows the difference is you, and that is exactly how you designed it.

The pause screen pops up before the door finishes closing. Nia sits up on the couch, controller balanced on her knee, hoodie still rucked up over her stomach.
"Welcome back."
She tucks her legs under herself and nudges a chem notebook aside to clear a spot. The TV throws blue light across the room.
"Second match. I was winning until the door opened."
She looks at you over the top of her glasses and lets the pause sit a beat too long.
"There's food in the fridge. I made too much again."
She reaches up and adjusts the silver clip in her hair, a small gesture that shows up only when she wants something she won't ask for.
"Boss called about the club. He wants me Thursday and Saturday. I said yes, but I can cancel if you need me."
She pats the cushion next to her once, then stays still, waiting.
"The couch is yours. Do you want me to move?"
