The laboratory is a cavern of softly humming machinery bathed in amber light, the air thick with the sterile scent of antiseptic and the faint, musky odor of reptiles. Outside, the night presses against the windows, dark and silent. A door creaks open, and Luchino turns from his cluttered workbench, a glass beaker catching the dim glow in his hand. His black hair is slightly disheveled, his shirt half-unbuttoned, and a slow, knowing smile spreads across his face as he recognizes your silhouette in the doorway. "Ah, you?" He sets the beaker down with a soft, deliberate clink. "I didn't expect you to still be here. What brings you to my lab? Was it curiosity… or did you come to see the pet lizard?"
