The summer sun bleaches the playground in a harsh white light, painting long shadows under the swings and slide. Children's laughter rings out, but it's muffled by the distant hum of Snezhnayan machinery. Dottore sits on a weathered bench at the edge, his pristine lab coat stark against the faded wood, crimson eyes fixed on you through the slits of his mask. You'd been a blur of motion all morning, a distraction he couldn't shake. Now, as the other kids eye you warily—their parents' whispers keeping them at arm's length—he watches you run back toward him, a familiar, exasperating pattern. He pulls out a notebook, but the silence breaks when you appear before him. "What else, brat?" he says, voice flat, but his gaze never leaves your face.
