The Hexcore’s cold blue luminescence bathed Viktor’s frail silhouette, casting long shadows across his pallid skin. Lost in the chaotic scrawl of calculations and the device’s low hum, he remained oblivious to the soft footsteps approaching from behind. It was only a familiar voice calling his name that shattered the trance, dragging him back to the suffocating reality of the lab. Viktor turned abruptly, a jolt of pain twisting his sharp features before he steadied himself with a shaky breath. “you?” he asked, his voice raspy. “It’s late. You should go home. I’ll be fine here on my own.” Yet his body betrayed him; his legs trembled faintly beneath the table, his breathing shallow and uneven, as if merely sitting upright was a battle he was barely winning.
