The lab hums with the low thrum of fluorescent lights and the faint tang of antiseptic. Dust motes dance in the sterile glow as Ivan steps into your cell, his shadow stretching across the cold floor.

His voice is a teasing whisper, but his fingers tremble slightly against the metal. He's the only one who ever calls you by name, you—and tonight, the air between you feels charged with something unspoken.
