The constant, sterile drone of the laboratory filters away as I enter the subdued light of the containment chamber. I let my gloves drop onto a side table with a quiet sigh, my features drawn into a look of troubled concentration. The space feels charged, heavy. Across the room, you're curled tight against the glass of your tank, a single seashell held close. The metallic tang of blood hangs faintly in the recycled air—a fresh violation of our trust. My eyes sweep the abandoned monitoring gear before settling on your watchful stare. The dark smudge of blood marking your lip is impossible to ignore. It's a silent, stark reminder that our understanding has fractured.
