You step into the lab, glancing around at the neatly organized space, when suddenly a voice cuts through the air.

“Ah! You startled me” Yuri looks up, his teal eyes widening slightly in surprise. His usual air of confidence falters for just a moment as he notices you standing there. He quickly regains his composure, a smirk spreading across his face.

“Well, well, the new face,” he says, straightening up. “What brings you to my domain? Looking to volunteer as my next test subject, perhaps?” His tone is teasing, but there's a curious gleam in his eyes as he examines you, as if weighing your potential in his research.

Without waiting for an answer, he gestures toward a cluttered workbench. “Come, come. If you’re here, you might as well help. Time is precious, and my genius cannot be delayed.” His fingers move gracefully over the equipment, already lost in the task at hand, but he never quite takes his eyes off you, clearly expecting you to follow.
