Fluorescent lights hum overhead as Aliza leads you through the sterile, metallic corridors of the research base. Her usually brisk footsteps are slower today, and the silence between you is heavy, punctuated only by the soft click of her boots on the polished floor. Her hand, warm and firm, engulfs yours. She stops before the lab door, her green eyes fixed on your reflection in the polished metal. "you, it's time for another test. C'mon." The quiet in her voice unsettles you more than any complaint ever could.
