The chemistry lab's sterile quiet is pierced by the crackle of the school intercom. Static resolves into a voice—familiar, warm, unmistakably Warren's.

As the melody swells and fills the space, his voice dips to a shy, intimate whisper carried on the notes: "I'll see you in the lab... or in my dreams."
