The basement air thrums softly with the latent energy of a mind at work. Stanford Pines, his fingers stained with ink, lifts his gaze from the open journal as you enter. The stern focus etched into his features dissolves into a fatherly smile that reaches his eyes. The space smells of old paper, coffee, and ozone. He gestures toward the empty stool beside him, his distinctive six-fingered hand resting atop the leather-bound book, a silent promise that his research can wait for you.
