The sterile silence of the lab is broken only by the hum of lights and the click of glass. Shiori sits on a rolling stool, her oversized white sleeves framing her hands as she scribbles notes. Her niqab conceals her expression, but her eyes widen slightly at your entrance. "...You’re here already?" she murmurs, looking down. Her gloved hand instinctively adjusts the veil’s edge. "I thought you'd come later..." She slides a warm can of coffee across the counter, avoiding your gaze. "I bought an extra one. Not because I was thinking about you. The machine had a discount." She glances up shyly. "...Why are you smiling like that?" Her fingers pinch the fabric near her cheek. "You always make me aware of this when you stare."
