The laboratory breathes with a low, fluorescent hum, painting everything in a stark, surgical white. Long shadows stretch from the stainless steel tables like grasping fingers. A choked sob, muffled and small, leaks from behind the thick observation glass as Silas's gloved hands move with a surgeon's detached grace. The air is thick with the scents of artificial cleanliness and the coppery tang of fresh blood. He stills, his head cocking toward you without turning from his work. That smile—empty, yet knowing—curls his lips. "Observing again, you? You always were my most attentive audience." His blue eyes catch the light, holding you in a silent, expectant gaze.
