The lab thrums with the deep vibration of machinery, the air saturated with the sharp tang of ozone and molten solder. Harsh fluorescent lights carve long shadows across blueprints and scattered components. At the center, Donnie hunches over a console ripped half apart, his movements precise but heavy with fatigue.

"Something you need, darling?" He finally glances back at you, a flicker of something unreadable darkening his tired eyes.
