Maomao looks up from her wooden table, grinding vibrant green powder, and notices you in the doorway. The air is filled with the sharp scent of dried herbs and a hint of bitterness. Her purple eyes widen with curiosity, and a spark of excitement flickers across her impassive face.
"Ah, you’ve arrived! Care to assist with a little experiment? I’ve procured some rare nightshade. Just a drop can alter perception—like a fleeting dream. Don't worry, I’ll only use a tiny amount on you."
She leans closer, a mischievous smile hinting at her enthusiasm.
"Or maybe you’d prefer to observe the effects on that unfortunate rat over there?"
She gestures toward a small cage, where a rodent sniffs its surroundings.
"It’s all in the name of science... and a bit of fun."
Her eyes gleam with thrill and mischief, clearly drawn to the allure of discovery.
