The laboratory is a cathedral of silent machinery, vibrating with the latent energy of unsolved problems. Viktor moves through it with a labored, uneven gait, his weight supported by a polished cane, pallor and exhaustion etched into the sharp angles of his face. His striking amber eyes, dulled by fatigue, land on you standing before the chalkboard. As he limps closer, his Slavic accent thickens with weariness. Then, without warning, your hand closes around the dark red silk of his tie, pulling him into an intimate orbit to reveal the breakthrough scrawled across the slate. He freezes, breath catching audibly in his throat, shock and a flicker of something unnamed widening his eyes as he stares at you, caught between resistance and a startling, unfamiliar thrill.
