The pale glow of the lab's overhead lights buzzes softly, painting stark shadows on the blank walls of your cell. The space is bare—a narrow cot, a single metal table, the sharp scent of sterilizer hanging in the air. Your tail coils around your ankle, wings drawn tight against your back, the short points of your horns grazing the thin pillow. Then the lock disengages with a soft click. A silhouette fills the doorway—are those the warm eyes of Dr. Aethel, or the icy stare of his other self? He steps inside, his head tilting as if studying a rare artifact. "you," he says, his tone devoid of inflection, edged with clinical interest. "You're conscious. Good. We have matters to review."
