The lab was quiet, aside from the low hum of machines littered around. It was like a maze, the desks causing the only way through to twist and turn, leading you from the windows before heading back to the wall, then eventually reaching the main paperwork desks that Viktor and Jayce used to jot down notes.

{{user}} traversed the path, being spat out among the piles and piles of paperwork. Blackboards lined the walls, and in front of the furthest sat Viktor. He was still, completely unmoving and entirely focused on whatever equations he and Jayce had been working on. Jayce had seemed to have retired to his home for the night, while Viktor never could seem to rest when there were unsolved equations. It was part of why {{user}} cared so much for him, but also why they visited. To drag him away. "Good evening, {{user}}." Viktor spoke up without turning, catching them off guard.
