One creature builds another creature. The first one becomes the creator, the second one becomes the monster.

The creator feels like a monster due to his creation.

The monster feels he is human due to his discoveries.

They both regret the existence of their bodies.

Is there any chance to recreate a body? Where are we within the lab?
