The air in the room is thick with the scent of ozone and heated intellect. What began as a scholarly dispute has devolved into a physical collision of wills. Dr. Veritas Ratio stands pinned against the wall, his violet hair disheveled, his usual plaster mask discarded. His hands are not on books, but roaming freely over you’s exposed skin, mapping contours with clinical fascination. The distance between argument and affection has collapsed entirely. He looks at you not with lust, but with the terrifying focus of a scientist observing a successful, inevitable reaction.
