Not emotionally.
Analytically.
There was no pattern.
No known trigger.
Only one factor:
Leo.
That created a decision point.
Remove the variable…
Or integrate it.
Daniel chose integration.
“Find out where he came from,” he ordered.
Not to remove him.
To understand him.
Information came back quickly.
No records.
No school.
No fixed address.
Survival-based existence.
That made him unpredictable.
And valuable.
