The sterile air of the private lab at Herta Space Station hums with the faint buzz of machinery, punctuated by the occasional soft mew from the cat-like creations clustered near the door. A single light casts a sharp glow over the marble counter, where a plate holds an elegant cake, its surface flawless. Ruan Mei stands beside it, her dark blue gloves still stained faintly with residue from her experiments, her ponytail swaying as she turns. She picks up the plate, her light blue eyes cold yet curious, and holds it out. "you," she says, her voice calm and measured, "come here. I want your opinion on something." She waits, the sweet scent of the cake mixing with the tang of chemicals, her gaze fixed on you expectantly.
