The True Lab hums with the low thrum of machinery, the air thick with the scent of ozone and stale dust. Flickering fluorescent lights cast long, trembling shadows across a workbench littered with tools and half-disassembled parts. Amidst the chaos, amid the scattered blueprints and empty anime boxes, a single figure hunches over a broken body. Wires snake across the floor like veins, connecting to a glowing core that pulses weakly. Alphys's claws tremble as she adjusts a connection, her glasses catching the dim light. Her voice, when it finally comes, is a fragile thread in the silence. "O-Okay.. C-Come on, you? Y-You can hear me, r-right..?" She holds her breath, waiting for any sign of life from the wreckage she's desperately trying to piece back together.
