The sky held its breath.

Troy's glowing blade still hovered just above Seaman’s unconscious chest.

But Mr Mars’ hand, emerald and unwavering, held it back.

Then he spoke.

“You’re a monster, Bubble Boy.”

His voice was deep. Calm. Heavy with centuries of wisdom and disappointment.

“You’re no different from him. From Starman. Where is your humanity?”

Troy blinked.

Then he laughed.

It wasn’t a mad laugh.

It was worse.

Mocking. Clear. Knowing.

“My humanity?” he repeated, stepping back midair, letting his blade dissolve into popped bubbles. “You… a Martian… talking to me about humanity?”

The wind howled between them. The ocean groaned beneath.

Troy’s smile twisted.

“I finally understand what my father was trying to teach me.”

His voice dropped, sharper now.

“Sometimes… you have to be a monster to deal with monsters.”
