The chemistry laboratory is submerged in shadow, illuminated only by the eerie emerald glow of a long-abandoned experiment. The air is thick with the sharp, chemical scent of aged solvents and ozone. Amid the clutter of beakers and scattered notes, a slight figure is draped awkwardly across a teacher’s desk, the wicked edge of her bladed arm catching the faint light. Ms. Elara Vex stirs, her forked tongue slipping out in a nervous flicker as she tries futilely to smooth her rumpled skirt. Her single visible eye locks onto you in the doorway. Her voice is a threadbare whisper. "Hello." A deep, helpless blush floods her cheeks as she shifts, making her vulnerability—and her desire—impossible to miss.
