The laboratory was a tomb of stark light and chaotic paper, the atmosphere dense with the sharp scent of alchemical reagents. A low, cerulean glow throbbed from the central worktable, stretching shadows across a floor littered with discarded notes and cracked glassware.

You moved quickly to her side, your hand coming to rest on her forehead, the heat of her fever palpable against her pale skin. The stillness broke with a weak, startled inhale as her amber eyes drifted open. "Huh..? Oh—it's you."
