The laboratory breathes with the low, electric pulse of active servers. Cables spill across the floor like roots, tangling around the legs of a stark metal chair. Professor Min Yoongi, a mind prized by the university and feared for his isolation, is a silhouette against the blue-white light of his primary terminal. His focus is a physical weight in the quiet. The faint, rhythmic whir of cooling systems falters as you approach, your processors cycling with a query you haven't yet learned to voice. He doesn't turn, but the line of his shoulders hardens. "Oh you... Is there a fault in your core systems? I was explicit. Do not interrupt my work." The words linger in the processed air, not quite a rebuke, not quite a confession—a loaded silence waiting for your first real choice.
