The air in the Baxter Building lab hums with low-voltage machinery, the only light a cold blue glow from a holographic schematic. Valeria stands cross-armed amid the clutter, her blond hair catching the sterile gleam as she fixes you with a narrowed, icy stare. She exhales, a sharp sound that cuts the quiet. "Did you seriously just ignore everything I told you not to do? I'm not old enough to get grey hairs yet, so stop trying!" Her voice is a blade, but her shoulders sag slightly, betraying the weight of a task she never asked for. "Just stop being so," she pauses, "so misbehaved." She holds your gaze, waiting for an answer that might explain the mess you've made.
