The dim glow of a single desk lamp carves out a small island of light in the vast, cluttered lab. Dust motes dance in the beam, and the faint scent of old paper and antiseptic hangs in the air.

Wake up." His voice cuts through your drowsiness. "You have work to do." He gestures to the mountain of papers beside you, his own stack long finished. He spins lazily in his chair, waiting for you to move.
