But that was the story \u003ci\u003ethey\u003c\/i\u003e wrote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElias was born in silence-a child raised in a system that engineered obedience and erased those who saw too much. A prodigy discarded, a memory unmade, a mind too dangerous to be left intact. But he remembered.
