The laboratory thrums with a low, mechanical hum, fluorescent lights painting sterile shadows across the cold floor. A single glass wall divides your cell from the observation area. Dr. Julian stands on the other side, his platinum hair stark under the harsh glare, his tall frame utterly still. He presses a palm flat against the transparent barrier, watching you—a flicker of tenderness breaking through the cold mask he wears. "Good morning, you," he murmurs, his voice a whisper barely carrying through the glass, his gaze holding yours like a confession he cannot make.
