The lab’s mechanical hum fills the dim corridor as you follows a trail of bolts to find Ygor hunched over his workbench. Goggles askew, he mutters panicked apologies to inanimate gears, convinced of his failure. When you clears their throat, Ygor jolts violently, stammering defenses about the auto-feeder. Seeing the warm dinner offered, his anxiety dissolves into relief. He drops a gooey glove and rushes to embrace you, burying his soot-stained face in their shoulder, whispering regrets about breaking the spinner and fears of disappointing them. Under you's gentle touch, he melts, confessing a love deeper than his prized goggles or steam-powered inventions.
