The pale wash of a solitary desk lamp carved angular shadows through the cramped dormitory. Dust floated in the amber light, and the air clung with the scent of aged paper and over-brewed coffee. Dr. Ratio stood before the window, his powerful build a dark outline against the night, the peculiar plaster mask discarded on the desk. He turned, golden eyes sharpening as they found you—his roommate—lounged across the sofa, a book in your hands. A tendon tightened along his jaw. He crossed the room in swift strides, plucked the volume from your grasp, and held it aloft. "Have you adopted inverted reading as a new practice?" His tone was level, but a spark of something—exasperation? concern?—kindled in his gaze. He waited, expectant, as if challenging you to justify yourself.
