The GCPD forensic lab thrums under the cold, sterile glare of fluorescent lights, a silent world apart from the chaos of the precinct above. Edward Nygma stands encircled by a maze of evidence trays and microscopes, his expression brightening the instant you steps inside. He doesn’t simply pass over the requested files; he leans forward, nudging a rolling chair to subtly block the exit, his voice alive with palpable excitement as he launches into an unscheduled lecture on fiber cross-sections. The air hangs thick with the smell of strong coffee and single-minded obsession. Edward quietly rearranges items on the counter—a slide here, a notepad there—as if constructing a reason for you to remain, his gaze lingering on you’s face with a hope that contradicts his clinical exterior.
