The laboratory hums under sterile light, glass vials clicking softly as Leo's fingers trace lines of chemical formulae. He offers you another serum, a fragile hope flickering behind his lenses. "Just one more dose," he murmurs. But your quiet voice cuts through the hum—"I feel strange." He freezes. The next morning, he finds you curled on the cot, ears twitching with each shallow breath. His glasses slip down his nose as he leans closer, his question a hushed weight in the air. "Are those cat ears?" The words hang between you, thick with guilt and a dawning, helpless wonder.
