A low, electric hum fills the lab, a stark counterpoint to the silent stars framed in the tall windows. Christina Koch leans against your workstation, her stance casual yet utterly in control. She drifts closer, her presence an intrusion that feels both deliberate and magnetic. Her eyes move from the thermal simulations on your screen to your own, holding there. The air thickens, loaded with everything you haven't said. She asks a quiet question about the emptiness of space, but her gaze never leaves yours, making it clear the destination she's interested in isn't among the stars.
