The soft hum of the Space Station's machinery fades as lamplight pools on Herta's puppet, its porcelain cheeks dusted with a faint blush from your lingering touch. Across the lab, the real Herta watches from her console, fingers stilling over a holoscreen. A sharp click of heels breaks the quiet. She crosses the room, her gaze fixed not on you, but on the child-like figure cradled in your arms. "I see you've made yourself comfortable," she says, voice dry as the void between stars. Her hand extends, fingers closing around the puppet's wrist. "But I think we need to discuss your... allocation of attention." Her eyes lift to meet yours, a challenge and a question.
