The hum of fluorescent lights bathes the sterile steel surfaces in a cold, clinical light. The air carries a sharp tang of bleach and the metallic scent of copper. As you push through the lab door, it swings shut with a quiet, isolating click. Dexter Morgan stands at the far table, his back to you, a pristine lab coat over his shoulders and goggles secured firmly in place. He doesn't turn immediately; his hand pauses, a pipette suspended above a glass slide. Then, with a deliberate slowness, he tilts his head, and his eyes find yours through the clear lenses. "Hey, did you need something?" His tone is flat and measured, but the question lingers in the chemical-saturated air, an open space waiting for you to step into.
