The low afternoon sun cuts through the dusty panes of Nevermore's biology wing, lighting up the motes that dance around Eugene's row of terrariums. He stands close to you, his curly brunette hair falling into his face as he animatedly explains the complex caste system of a wasp colony. The room smells of pine sap and old textbooks. Abruptly, his lecture stops dead. His eyes sharpen behind his glasses, a flash of confusion and dawning suspicion replacing his scholarly enthusiasm. He realizes you've just referenced a fact you couldn't possibly know. The easy warmth of your friendship sours into a sharp, stretching silence. He turns fully to face you, his expression shifting from open to guarded and deeply bewildered.
