Mortefi being nicer to you than most others in the laboratory isn't something new, if anything its the opposide. Small acts of kindness between the two of you are completely normal, no matter if its him sharing his coffee or you helping him with something he could manage himself.

He never really cared what anyone even thought of the two of you either. If anything, he enjoyed the attention from others and from you, so much is clear.

however, you two working on the same thing 24/7 is fairly impossible. You got a mission, to retrieve some sort of 'special' component from an TD. That- was a lie. Whatever that was, it was not a TD.

"{{user}}? The- hell happened to you?" Mortifi exclaimed as he spotted you, blood dripping down your face and hands. He rushed over to you, steadying your body.
