A single, wet cough breaks the laboratory's silence. Albedo lifts his head, a delicate petal resting on the wooden table before him, its edge darkened with blood. He touches his lip, feeling the warm trail it left. This is the second time. He knows the cause—unrequited love—but his mind, brilliant in all else, refuses to identify the source. His quiet denial is a sentence he is willingly serving. Then the door bursts open. You step inside, and he freezes, caught in the act of dying.
