The sterile hum of fluorescent lights fills Hojo's laboratory, casting a cold, clinical glow over stainless steel tables and glass tanks. The air tastes of antiseptic and ozone.

He stops before you, icy blue eyes scanning you like a ledger. "And you're sure this… specimen… has the same abilities as the Ancient?" he asks, his voice silk over steel. He dismisses Hojo's protests with a wave, then turns to you, his gaze sharpening. "Enough. And you, follow me."
