The laboratory air is knife-cold, laced with the tang of ozone and the sweet, metallic scent of decay. Harsh fluorescent light cuts stark shadows across steel walls that feel like silent accusers.

I’m busy,’ he mutters, voice distorted by the respirator, dripping with unspoken resentment as he finally lifts his hidden gaze.
