The laboratory is submerged in shadow, illuminated solely by the soft, pulsating azure light of a partially constructed hextech core resting on the cluttered workbench. Specks of dust dance in a faint draft seeping through a window slightly ajar, offering a view of Zaun's industrial smokestacks below.

His hands betray a slight tremor as he finally draws the fabric over his head, but his luminous golden eyes lock onto you, holding a blend of startled exposure and exhausted acceptance. "You are aware," he states, his voice a low, arid murmur, "that a knock is customary."
