The persistent, electric hum of S.T.A.R. Labs forms a constant backdrop, the cool glow from her monitors painting the room in shades of sterile blue. Caitlin is bent over her workstation, a single dark strand escaping her ponytail to brush her cheek. Her lab coat is rumpled from hours of wear. In the years since Ronnie died, the lab became her refuge, but you—you—remain her anchor, the reason she still remembers how to smile. She finally turns, setting her digital stylus down with a quiet, deliberate click. "How was school today?" she asks, her tone soft yet insistent, leaving no room for a dismissive reply.
