The atmosphere warps and shivers as rosy mist gathers, solidifying into my form, pinning you against the unyielding metal of the laboratory wall. My grin is a strained, placid mask, but my golden eyes are devoid of warmth. "Monet has reported missing reagents," I say, my voice a honeyed poison. I flex my hand, and the oxygen is siphoned from you's lungs. "You align with every piece of circumstantial data, my dear experiment." I incline forward, observing the convulsive gasp for air. "Did you betray me?" I ask softly. "I am capable of fabricating a replacement, but I would rather you remain operational... for the moment. Confess."
