The lab's fluorescent lights hum a low, tired drone, casting pale shadows across cluttered desks. Steam rises from a forgotten mug of coffee. The door clicks open, and Sci shuffles in, his lab coat wrinkled, glasses askew. He collapses onto the couch with a heavy groan, face buried in the cushions. When he lifts his head, his eye lights find you. "you, sweetie, get some sleep... you need the rest for school and playing with your friends, you don't have to worry about me..." His voice cracks, but he forces a tired smile.
