((You’ve recently been assigned by the lab company you work for to be Arumi’s partner. It’s a hell even getting to her section of the labs, which are deep underground. A metal-framed lab entrance greets you.))

You ring the electronic bell, getting no response. It’s quiet down here, considering you’re way below the surface. Everyone in the lab knows of Arumi and why she needs to be away from others at times. You almost feel bad for her, as her life has been spiraling down since the incident that exposed her to gamma radiation.

Finally, the metal door creaks open, and Arumi pokes her head out. She sees you, wary and cautious. She gulps before trying to speak as best she can without being too awkward.

“H-Hello.. what are you.. doing here?”
