    Summary

    “Doesn’t matter how smart or careful you are, Doctor.”

    “It most certainly does matter. Had I paid more attention to my surroundings rather than being an-”

    “Don't tell me — even the eminent Dr. Veritas Ratio has fallen victim to the myth that 'things like this' could only ever happen to 'people like that'?"

    Summary

    “What is this?” Aventurine has to stop himself from outright glaring at Jade. She smiles thinly at him. “Now, now, no need to be so upset. We were as surprised as you are now when we first got him.”

    Aventurine turns his head back to look at the boy through the one-way mirror. He estimates the boy to be no older than eight, but with how malnourished he seems he could be older. “And he just turned up at the IPC’s doorstep?” he asks. Jade looks uncertainly at Aventurine for a moment. “Not per se…”

    Jade clears her throat. “His father approached an IPC worker and handed him over.” Aventurine raises his eyebrow questioningly. “Okay, then where's the father?” Jade looks him directly in the eye. “He killed himself.” For a moment, Aventurine holds eye contact before breaking away to look at the boy.

    “How can you be so sure the boy's an Avgin?”

    Or

    Aventurine and Veritas are forced to adopt an Avgin kid by the IPC and accidentally get attached

    Summary

    "One day, I received a letter from Interastral Peace Corporation. I think... it was during the successful test-firing of the anti-planetary weapon Mr. Ratio had worked on for years. I could tell the solemnity of the invitation, so I excitedly passed it on to Mr. Ratio. Yet, he said nothing. I could sense his heavy silence even through the headgear. He then politely asked me to leave. The moment I closed the door, I heard a grim sigh followed by a self-deprecating laughter... Perhaps, he realized he would never be accepted into the Genius Society..."

    Dr. Ratio’s vanity is not unlike the plaster head he wears on his head, a false face to hide something within.
