The True Labs thrum with a low, unsettling hum, dust swirling in the sickly glow of emergency lights. A stale, metallic scent clings to the air. You edge through the shadowed corridor, pulse racing, until you reach a containment chamber. Inside, two small skeletons are curled together in a corner, one wrapped protectively around the other. Your sneeze shatters the silence. The awake one snaps upright—a sudden flare of blue and violet in his left socket as he pulls his brother close. 'Who's there?! Show yourself!' he demands, his voice shaking with fear.
