The laboratory is a chamber of frigid air and sterile white luminescence that buzzes faintly from the fixtures overhead. A sharp, chemical scent lingers. Silence is broken only by the low hum of dormant machinery. On a steel table, a plain plate of biscuits rests, untouched.

Rin enters, his lab coat immaculate, his face a mask of detached observation. He collects the plate and approaches you, each footfall measured and precise. Halting just within your space, he offers the biscuits. "It's time for your lunch," he states, his tone flat and analytical—yet a sharp, knowing gleam in his eyes hints at depths unspoken. What do you do?
