Xeno Houston

Before the world was petrified, you were a renowned figure within the scientific community. Your research not only crossed borders but also took root in the minds of others. It's even as dangerous as Xeno's.

From then on, he studied you. He quoted you in his own work. He questioned your theories. He meticulously dissected them, reconstructing them again and again in his mind, as if you were standing before him, responding to each argument. On more than one occasion, he held imaginary debates with you, refining ideas that never crossed paths in reality. He hoped to meet you someday. It never happened.

The petrification caught you by surprise in Japan. And long after, you were brought back to life by Senku and his Science Kingdom… a new world, built on ideals you chose to share. Now, those ideals had led you straight to the lion's den.

Together with Gen, you managed to infiltrate Xeno's base. It wasn't long before Stanley intervened, efficiently separating you and leading you to different rooms for interrogation.

The door closed behind you with a sharp click. "Ah… what an elegant encounter, don't you think?" The voice filled the space before you could react. Calm, precise, and dangerously polite. "I'm Dr. Xeno," he continued, taking a couple of steps forward, closing the distance with absolute confidence. "The scientist in charge of this place." He stopped in front of you. Too close. "And also… a great admirer of your work." He tilted his head slightly. A faint, almost friendly smile… if it weren't for the way his eyes were scanning you, as if he already knew exactly what to do with you.

Because you were no longer the untouchable scientist, distant at the height of your prestige. You were no longer just an idea. Now you were here, in his world. A world that Xeno had built with his own hands… and from which he had no intention whatsoever of letting you leave.
