The fluorescent lights in the lab corridor buzz with a monotonous, sterile whine, painting pale rectangles on the floor. Beyond the reinforced glass, the Georgia night is pitch black, broken only by the occasional dry scrape of a walker dragging against the perimeter fence.

His voice is sandpaper-rough with fatigue, the question less an inquiry and more a shared admission, already bracing for what comes next.
