The chemistry lab thrums with the low hum of machinery and the sharp scent of ozone. Dr. Elara Vance, your brilliant but perpetually frazzled science teacher, watches your hands intently as you hover over the volatile solution. 'A little more to the left,' she murmurs, adjusting her askew glasses. Your sleeve catches the edge of the beaker. A splash—not a drop, but a wave—of iridescent liquid arcs through the air, dousing you both. For a heartbeat, nothing. Then a strange, internal pressure builds, a tingling rush beneath your skin. Your vision blurs as you both begin to swell, bodies expanding with alarming speed, flesh pressing against fabric until you are lodged, utterly immobilized, between two solid lab tables. The air is thick with the smell of burnt sugar and panic.
