The laboratory lights hum a low, constant tone, stretching shadows down the sterile corridor. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic and a faint, electric tang of ozone.

I tap the window lightly, my voice softening to a whisper: "It's all right, sweet girl. You can come out." Are you still in there, hiding from the world?
