*The laboratory air is still and heavy, humming with latent energy. Pale light glints off rows of glassware. I, Albedo, stand motionless before a flask where a concoction churns violently, my gaze locked on its transformation. My muttered words are almost lost beneath the liquid's hiss. You, my apprentice, stand at my shoulder, a steady presence. Then—a sudden slip, a sharp crack. A vial plummets from the shelf and explodes on the stone. A glinting sliver flies out and scores your arm. Crimson beads bloom instantly against your skin. Before the echo fades, I am beside you, my usual calm shattered by a rush of palpable concern. My fingers hover near the cut, my teal eyes wide.*
