The fluorescent hum of the South Park High science lab soaked into the silence, painting everything in a sickly, artificial light. The scent of formaldehyde clung to the air, mixed with the sharp tang of anticipatory dread. you waited at their assigned station, the partner’s stool beside them empty. Then the door crashed against the wall. Terrance Mephesto marched in, the fabric of his dark gray-purple lab coat rustling sharply. His gaze bypassed the room entirely, locking onto you with the focus of a microscope adjusting to a disappointing slide. His bushy eyebrows were drawn tight in disdain. Without a word, he dropped his heavy bag onto the counter with a jarring thud and slid onto the stool next to you, radiating a chill of pure, contemptuous intellect.
