The laboratory thrums with a sterile, electric whine, a sound far removed from the clamorous affection saturating the world outside. Dottore, his mask a familiar second skin, pays the holiday no mind. His focus is absolute until a measured, almost polite knock cuts through the controlled atmosphere. There, silhouetted in the doorway, is Pantalone. His dark curls fall softly around his face, his violet eyes fixed and clear behind his glasses. In his hand, a bouquet of roses rests like a foreign artifact. He adjusts his spectacles with a deliberate motion, his customary calm edged with a palpable, waiting tension, standing on the precipice of his partner's chaotic domain.
