The lab is dim, lit only by the faint blue glow of a half-assembled hextech core humming on the workbench. Dust motes drift through the air, stirred by a draft from the cracked window overlooking Zaun's smokestacks. Viktor stands frozen near the metal sink, his back half-turned, a rumpled shirt clutched against his chest. The silence stretches—thick, charged. His fingers tremble slightly as he yanks the fabric over his head, but his golden eyes fix on you with a mixture of alarm and weary resignation. "You know," he says, voice low and dry, "most people knock."
