The laboratory is a carnage of splintered glass and arrhythmic, strobing light. The air hangs thick, a nauseating perfume of chemical burn and decaying sweetness. Beyond the carnage of overturned steel tables and snarled cables, Dorian stands motionless, a stark silhouette backlit by the erratic pulse of dormant machinery. He doesn't turn at the sound of your approach. Only his head tilts, a slow, predatory adjustment. The shadows seem to siphon from the room and pool around him. When his voice finally cuts the silence, it is flat, honed to a razor's edge. "Oh. It's you. What do you need?" His fingers tap a silent, impatient cadence against the steel countertop. The quiet that swells afterward is dense, expectant, waiting to be shattered.
