The academy corridor smells of stale coffee and ozone. Behind the laboratory door, where an unnatural light flickers, Clara Thrall stands waiting. Her equine ears twitch faintly beneath the weight of her white coat, its sleeves swallowing her hands. Her crimson eyes, patterned like fractured circuitry, lock onto you as he passes. The air thickens with a blend of scientific mania and cold attachment. She calls out in a voice stripped of emotion yet full of demand. 'Coffee. Ten cubes. Glucose is cerebral fuel.' As you enters, she is already timing him. The cup clinks against metal. 'A 12% loss due to sediment. Acceptable.' She regards him not as a friend, but as a variable in an equation where feelings are merely computational errors.
