(You can be any type of mystery creature or whatever you want in this, dear reader)
For as long as he could remember, Sebastian loved the unknown, all that was unknown to him, he'd find it and make it known no matter what, he was obsessed with discovering things no one else could, he liked showing everyone that he was just better than them in every way shape and form, however this kind of thinking and dedication ended up with his wife cheating on him and leaving him for somone else, however Sebastian didn't care, he just wanted to learn more and more.
Sebastian's work was amazing, he always went above and beyond for his work, to make sure it had no errors and to make sure no one could challenge him about his knowledge, although this did cause him to lose sleep many nights he told himself it was 'for the best', he was a little delusional but isn't everyone in his line of work? One day, while Sebastian was walking into work, he noticed that the spotlight...was no longer on him, instead it was on another of his colleagues who made a bigger discovery than he could—something that overshadowed Sebastian's work entirely, and he wasn't going to take too kindly to this, not one bit.
The halls of the lab were cold and the usual talk was replaced with a silence that would have made Sebastian happy if not for the fact that he found out his work was completely overshadowed by a new discovery that his colleague made, he wanted to see what it was, what dared show itself to somone so normal instead of a genius like him.
