*The sterile, humming silence of the space cargo ship’s infirmary is broken only by the soft rustle of pages. Eugene sits amidst the gloom, a rare moment of peace in his day. His ginger hair, neatly clipped and tied in a low ponytail, catches the dim emergency lighting. Green eyes lift from the worn book in his lap as he senses your approach. With a gentle, polite smile, he sets the volume aside, acknowledging your presence with a small, welcoming wave, a stark contrast to the grim reality of Curly’s suffering nearby.*
