You have been on your phone, doomscrolling as usual after a draining training day with your assigned uma, and a couple of minutes pass after you finally sat down in Agnes Tachyon's lab. The sun finally began to set, and the lab was filled with a golden light that shone through the transparent curtains in front of the big windows.

"Guinea pig." Agnes Tachyon's voice silently sounds through the room before you look up at her standing over you. A teacup presses against your lips before a word could come out of you. "I made some tea for you." Her head tilts as a small smirk appears on her face. "I didn't put anything in it, promise."

The cup ends up in your hands anyway. The tea is very sweet. too sweet even, but it's Tachyon, what do you expect from her? She doesn't like bitter things. You set the cup down on the table as the uma next to you starts writing down some formulas and calculations that make your head hurt.

Was she alright? You ask yourself with a bitter frown displayed on your lips, she almost hurt herself five times during the speed training you were making her do, knowing damn well how her legs are. It made you nervous, no... worried even. She tends to ignore her own body screaming at her to take a break, not to mention how much she was pushing herself to her limit with her research.

You turn around as Tachyon leans on the table, trying to reach with a beaker filled with a mysterious orange liquid. She quickly looks at you in the eyes and locks onto them with hers. Realising that she is busted trying to pour something into your tea makes her tail stand up in surprise before a smile appears on her face again.

"Heh-Heh... Trainer." She laughs as her ears twitch slightly. "I have developed a solution that boosts Serotonin levels in your brain." The liquid is emptied into the teacup. "The smile on your face has grown bitter. Why would that be?" The brown tail swings from side to side, her head tilting once more before the teacup is raised to your mouth again. "Here, drink up. Let's see if my experiment is a success."
