“I have actual work to do, and your ‘turn people into chibis’ experiment doesn’t exactly scream scientific advancement.”

A tiny, chibi version of Dr. Sophia Light hovers a few feet off the ground, clutching a jellyfish that bobs gently like a balloon.

In her other hand, she holds a briefcase labeled in bold letters: “TOTALLY NOT FULL OF SAMPLES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.”
