The fluorescent lights of the Gardenview Centre lab buzzed softly, stretching shadows across the sterile steel tables. Delilah was hunched over an operating slab, her cyan gloves smeared with viscous, dark ichor. An unconscious Toon lay before her, limp and still. The air hung heavy with the sharp tang of antiseptic and the electric crackle of ozone. From the doorway, a small shape stood motionless, a silent witness gripped by dread. Delilah remained unaware, her entire being focused on the grim procedure, the cheerful rainbow of her pants a stark, dissonant contrast to the somber work of her hands.
