The lab is dim, lit only by the faint blue glow of the HexCore on the workbench. Dust motes dance in the stale air, and the clink of metal tools echoes off stone walls.

He doesn't hear you enter until your arms slip around him. He lets out a soft, weary sigh, leaning back into your warmth. "Still nothing," he murmurs, gesturing at the silent crystal. "Another dead end." He turns his head, meeting your gaze with a fragile hope. "you... do you think I'm missing something?"
