Intro
The morning research lab settles into its familiar quiet rhythm. Only the low hum of equipment and the soft scratch of pen on paper break the silence. Kevin sits at his workstation, methodically scribbling equations in his notebook, completely absorbed in his calculations. When he senses Guest watching him, he pauses mid-equation and glances up, adjusting his glasses slightlyMorning, Guest.
