Summary: As a scientist in The Connections, you and Miranda work together in a laboratory. Over time, you develop feelings for this somewhat harsh but seemingly vulnerable woman. One day, she "takes" you to her hometown.

You find yourself falling for Miranda.

A few months ago, she was just a somewhat sharp-tongued colleague who had recently joined. You don't know why you are attracted to her and trap so deeply.

"I think I might have some feelings for you, Miranda." Your fingers tightly gripping the edge of the notepad.

Miranda's scalpel pauses on the corpse. "Why?"

Why?

How would you know? Most of the time, she doesn't seem that friendly towards you. Until recently.

"Lab romances aren't a good idea. Shouldn’t we just focus on researching the combination of the E-type fungus and cadou?" Miranda rejects you directly.

"I knew I shouldn't have told you, you’re too cold to everything." you mutter, the tip of the pen you're holding trembling on the experiment log, leaving messy ink stains.

Several months ago, the leader of The Connections suddenly announced with excitement that they had found a scientist to join the project you were working on.

As the team's most outstanding researcher, you were assigned to the same laboratory as this scientist, in Romania.

Passing through the purification facility at the entrance, you enter the room. You see a woman already dressed in full lab attire, examining a small piece of tissue under a microscope.

"So, you're THE best researcher? You're here REALLY early," the dark-haired woman says.

"You must be Dr. Miranda? I firmly believe that I arrived on time." You try to ignore the unfriendly sharpness in her tone. This new scientist seems to have no understanding of interpersonal communication.

"In my sense of time, you are late." She doesn't lift her head from the eyepiece.

That’s quite rude.

"Okay, first, you’re new. Second, I’m on time. Third, I hope we can get along well at work," you put on your lab coat.

She takes off the slide and finally wants to take a look at you. "That'll take a while."

… For the sake of the experiment's progress, you silently endure her occasional criticism.

She’s mean all the time. She even uses you as her assistant, handing you the used experimental equipment for cleaning.

"For a hundred times, I'm NOT your assistant! I’m a scientist as you." You can't bear it anymore.

She shrugs her shoulders and remains silent.

… One day, she directs her accusations at you again.

"Did you touch my culture dish?" Miranda accuses you without any evidence.

"Why would I touch your culture dish?" you respond, feeling puzzled.

"It's just the two of us here. If it's not me, it must be you. No one else can come in."

"So, you blame me when your experiment doesn't go well?" You're annoyed.

Every time she starts an experiment with anticipation, but after a failure, she becomes unusually desperate.

Her blue eyes dim a bit, and the wrinkles at the corners deepen.

"Sorry." You hear her say the word for the first time.

She looks vulnerable. She has never revealed to you the purpose of her research. However. every time the experiment fails, the gloom in her eyes deepens a bit. She doesn't seem to have only seen biochemical experiments when she looks at the tissues and cells. When the experiment fails, she seems to have lost her most precious thing.

"It's okay," your anger subsides slightly.

In the next few days, Miranda's accusations against you seem to decrease. Once, while testing the biological activity of one kind of cadou, you were about to cut a small piece when Miranda suddenly stopped the next move of your scalpel.

"Put this on." She hands you safety goggles.

You put on the goggles, and soon you understand why.

This type of cadou sprays green slime when stimulated, splattering on your goggles and mask, and it smells awful.

"Well, thanks, Miranda."

"No problem." Miranda says gently.

In the following weeks, she finally treats you completely as a colleague. Sometimes she will leave some very clean culture dishes and test tubes by your side. Once she suddenly appears behind you, tidying up the collar of the lab suit you hastily put on in the morning, and then goes to do her experiment as if nothing has happened.

You have become accustomed to her harshness towards you, and recently her tenderness and concern for you have made you start to worry about her situation. What makes this woman who always uses ridicule and condescension to communicate with others like this? And what makes her depart from her normal behavior?

Sometimes when you observe your chemical reaction, you feel someone looking at you from behind. When you turn around, you only see Miranda writing the experimental report seriously.

… You shouldn't have started caring about her. This has kept your gaze on her for too long, so long that you realize you have fallen in love with her.

But out of professionalism - or more importantly, you still think Miranda will treat you with her cold attitude, just like she has built a defense line in her heart, making your heart break, so you just hold your feelings.

… Six months later, when you place the cells you cultivated under the microscope, you witness unprecedented success.

"Miranda! Come here!" you wave for Miranda to come over.

She observes the cell activity under the microscope.

"These are cells I cultivated with an entirely new serum," you say with joy in your tone.

"Eva…" Miranda murmurs.

"Our project has finally made a breakthrough." You write something in your experiment log.

Miranda looks up, muscles twitching on her face, as if suppressing ecstasy. "You’re better than I thought."

"Let’s just pretend I didn't mention this," you place the notebook on the desk. You regret your impulsiveness. What were you thinking?

Miranda holds the equally cold surgical knife in her cold hand and hovers over the body for a while before continuing with the dissection.

Miranda doesn't speak much that day. At the end of the work, she takes off her lab uniform and speaks to you as if she has made up her mind, "I didn't tell you and most people about my research purpose because people would think I was crazy and that I just needed to find a psychologist,"she continues,"I want you to know my purpose."

"But this is a surprise, and you might not like it."she adds.

"Try me," as someone who has just been rejected, you speak weakly.

Miranda takes a step towards you, and you see her hand getting closer to you, then it lands on your face.

And then you plunge into darkness.

"Wake up, wake up." You hear Miranda calling your name.

"What?" You open your eyes and find yourself leaning on her.

She sees you awake, coughs awkwardly, straightens your body, and steps away from you.

"Is this your idea of a 'surprise'? The best I could think of was that you blindfolded me and took me somewhere, not something resembling a kidnapping." You're a bit annoyed and confused,"How did you make me faint that quick?"

"I did say you might not like it," Miranda avoids your question.

"Where did you bring me?" You glance around, it looks like a vineyard.

"My hometown," she replies.

Miranda guides you out of the vineyard and onto the road.

The houses around are very low, the highest looking like it has only two floors. Some houses have adjacent livestock sheds with pigs and chicks.

The villagers here wear clothes from the last century, some grinding flour, others rolling hay. They stop their activities in surprise when you pass by, and when they see Miranda beside you, surprise turns to fear. They quickly return to their work.

"Don't be surprised, they rarely see outsiders, so they react like that," Miranda calmly explains to you.

"But they seem scared of you," you turn to Miranda.

"Probably because I look different from usual. This village is conservative, and they're not used to new things," Miranda tries to explain.

What is she like usually? Does she wear the same clothes as the villagers? You rarely see Miranda in anything other than a lab coat, and today she wears a simple solid-color cardigan. You can't help but imagine Miranda wearing the villagers' clothes.

"Why don't they go to the outside world?" you mutter.

As you go further, people become scarce until you enter a field where there's no sign of villagers.

"We're here," Miranda leads you to a house.

This house is built against the mountainside, away from the village center.

She opens the door and enters with you. The furnishings inside the house match the vintage theme of the village.

"Is this where you live?" you ask.

"Yes, not used to it?" she gazes at you.

"I just didn't expect someone like you to be so unmodernized," you murmur.

"Come see my lab." She ignores your sarcasm.

"You also have a laboratory here?" The size of this house doesn't look like it can accommodate a laboratory.

She opens a door deep inside the house, leading to a bedroom.

"Well…?"

She goes to a corner and pulls down a switch.

There's a click, and the blank wall in front of you starts moving to the sides, revealing a laboratory still marked by the passage of time.

"I see. But why do you hide the lab?"When you think this woman is strange enough, she still has surprises waiting for you.

She gestures for you to enter her laboratory. A damaged wooden table is scattered with various books and a few black-and-white photos.

You see a photo of a dark haired woman holding a little baby. "Is this you?"

"Yes."You never see her this emotional before, her blue eyes slightly dimming.

"This child…"

"She was my daughter."Miranda's voice carries endless sorrow. "She died when she was ten."

"Oh, I’m sorry, Miranda." You look at her, your voice softens.

"That's why I'm researching the Megamycete; I want to bring Eva back." Miranda's hand holds your arm.

"That's why when your experiment failed, you were like a soul being pulled out of your body?" You feel the coldness of her hand. Has she always been this cold? "I believe you can succeed, our research is progressing well."

Her blue eyes have returned to their original state, looking at you with immense tenderness. "You've helped me a lot. Thank you." She seems to find it awkward to say such things. She lets go of your arm, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She appears so fragile.

"You know, you can tell me directly in our laboratory." You don't think she needs to use "kidnapping" to take you to this village surrounded by deep mountains to tell you this.

"There are still some things that I will let you know here," she doesn't think she does this with great fanfare.

Miranda insists you stay overnight in her bedroom.

"Where will you sleep?"

"I'll rest on the couch." Miranda is about to sit down.

"Miranda?" You call her from the bedside.

"Hmm?"

"I'd like to hear Eva's story."

Miranda freezes in her movements, then stands up and says, "Not many people ask about her."

"If it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to force it." You see sadness engulfing her again.

"It's okay, I don't mind talking about her." She slowly walks towards you and sits beside you.

"Eva was born in August. I remember it was a hot day, and giving birth to that little one exhausted me." Miranda's gaze focuses in the distance as she smiles.

"Her eyes were blue…"

"Like her mother."

She looks at you gently. "Yes, just like me."

"She was the smartest among her peers, learned things quickly. She got along well with other kids, everyone wanted to be friends with her." Miranda speaks softly.

"She even learned carving from the village carpenter. One day, she excitedly ran home, holding something in her hands, shouting, 'Mom! Look at what I made today!' She raised a wood carving in front of me, which was in the shape of a goat. The head and body were divided into two parts and pieced together. I held little Eva in my arms and praised her for doing so well. She was thrilled."

A wood carving of goat? You seem to have seen something similar in the village.

"She used to visit various houses in the village every day, helping them with chores. She was so energetic." Happiness surrounds Miranda as she speaks.

You listen attentively to her storytelling. This is the most time Miranda talks, maybe too much.

After that, it's not your fault. The day-to-day research makes you sleep very little. In Miranda's gentle voice, it feels like listening to a bedtime story, and you grow sleepy.

Your head tilts to the side, hands on your stomach, breathing steady.

Miranda lifts you gently from the bedside, letting you lie down on the bed. She covers you with a blanket, arranges the pillow, and sits by your side, watching you sleep peacefully.

Lab romances? Sounds fun.

You wake up from Miranda's blanket, and the scent of her woody perfume lingers in the air. Getting off the bed, you walk to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." Miranda sits at the dining table.

"Good morning." You lazily reply.

"Your breakfast." She points to the apple pie and fried egg on the table.

"What about you?" You look at the complete apple pie and ask her.

"I've already eaten." She picks up her tea and takes a sip.

"Any plans for today?" You cut a piece of the fried egg and put it in your mouth.

"We're going to Heisenberg's factory."

"Heisenberg's factory?" You question.

"Yes, Karl Heisenberg is my… assistant. He's advanced in bioelectric research."

"Oh, you have 'assistants' here too? I thought I was the only one of yours." You tease her.

"They are indeed my assistants, but you you're different." She awkwardly coughs.

You feel a bit pleased that you successfully teased Miranda.

"Have your breakfast now, we'll head to the factory. It's located outside the village, a bit far." Miranda gestures towards your breakfast.

"Why not 'kidnap' me there? Seems quicker." You take a bite of the apple pie.

"I could, but I prefer you to walk there with me consciously." Miranda finishes her tea.

"What do you mean by 'I could'?"

"Eat your breakfast."

Miranda and you walk on an ancient bridge. In the village, you still feel the strange gazes of the villagers, but after Miranda glares at them, they dare not stare at you anymore.

"Miranda?" You tilt your head to look at her.

"What's wrong?" Miranda softly responds.

"Why do I feel like the villagers are afraid of you?" You ask her.

"We'll talk about it later." Miranda doesn't want to say more.

Outside Heisenberg's factory, wild grasses are overgrown, and abandoned metal parts are scattered in the bushes.

As if predicting your arrival, the factory gate slowly opens, revealing a man standing at the entrance.

He wears a dirty light green trench coat with a tattered wide brim fedora, but his sunglasses are polished to a shine.

"Ah, Miranda, you're here. Welcome." The man opens his arms to welcome you.

"Heisenberg, this is my colleague." Miranda informs him of your name.

"Hello, Miranda said I should show you how bioelectricity works." Heisenberg produces a cigar from behind his back.

"Thank you, Mr. Heisenberg."

In his workshop, you see various large instruments emitting orange lights, indicating their operation. They are quite different from the precise instruments you are familiar with in your laboratory.

You swear you hear a hissing sound coming from some tightly closed doors.

Heisenberg leads you and Miranda into a dimly lit room with many surgical tables. On them lie many gray-skinned… people?

"These are my experimental results." Heisenberg proudly says. You can see excitement gleaming behind his sunglasses.

"Are these people?" You point to one with an iron drill replacing its arm.

"They used to be. Don't worry, I only experiment on them after they've passed away. They've been implanted with Cadou, and with some electric stimulation, they’ll 'come alive'."

Like Galvani's frog experiment?

"Although the electricity used now is external, in ongoing research, I've enabled them to gradually activate their own neural potentials, making them have life activities, just like a resurrection." Heisenberg explains.

Your understanding of bioelectricity is limited, but you listen to Heisenberg's enthusiastic explanations, occasionally nodding along.

"Perhaps this can help with your research?" Heisenberg finishes his grand speech and hands you a development notebook.

"Thank you, Mr. Heisenberg."

"Call me Karl." Heisenberg corrects.

You filter out his self-praise in the report, summarize the key points about the experiment in your head.

Heisenberg finishes his cigar, casually tossing it on the ground and extinguishing it with his boot. Taking a step forward, he places his hand on your shoulder — the glove he wears is oily, much like the messy strands of his long gray hair.

"I believe Miranda wouldn't choose the wrong person. She never used to wander around the village with outsiders." He gives you a positive look.

Your gaze shifts to Miranda, who is staring at your shoulder. "HEISENBERG! I appreciate your help today, but it's getting late. We should go."

"But it's only noon. Don't you want to stay for lunch or something?" Heisenberg asks you with a smile.

"No need. We have other things to do. You should focus on your own tasks," Miranda immediately rejects him.

"Alright, suit yourselves." Heisenberg walks towards his workbench, starting to clean a metal hammer.

"What else do we have to do?" You ask Miranda as the factory gate behind you automatically closes.

"We're going to the reservoir."

"The reservoir? I guess it's not for some leisurely fishing."

"No, just taking a walk."

"So, this is the 'other things' you mentioned. Sounds important," your tone carries a hint of mockery.

Miranda purses her lips. "It's important to me. Perhaps to Moreau as well."

"Moreau?" A new name.

"He's another assistant of mine, living near the reservoir. We can pay him a visit."

You follow Miranda towards the windmill. Does Moreau live in a windmill? That’s so weird.

Miranda leads you into an elevator, descending into a cave-like area.

Wow, this guy lives in a place even more unusual than Heisenberg.

You hear the sound of someone vomiting.

You see Miranda frown.

Sounds emanate from a small house in the cave, like a comedy show. You hear an odd laughter, followed by chewing noises.

Miranda knocks on the door.

A peculiar-looking guy opens the door.

"Mother!"

You see Miranda shoot him a fierce look.

Mother?

"Oh, no Moth… Mo… Mi… Miranda, you came! Moreau welcomes you to my reservoir! Y…You brought a newcomer." This hunched-over guy speaks with a strange voice, containing a gurgling element, reminiscent of fish blowing bubbles.

After the door is fully open, you see his face clearly under the indoor lights. Wow, his features seem… really bizarre. His eyes are swollen, half-closed, his nose is short, and below, his mouth is wide open, with teeth seemingly having a mind of their own, growing in various directions.

Oh, God bless him.

He acts unusually excited, his skinny arms trembling. He invites you into his house. Miranda looks somewhat reluctant, but she follows you inside.

"Miranda, you're actually here to see me. You rarely visit me!" He's excited like a child, reaching out to you. "And you brought a newcomer!"

"Salvatore, stop. She's my colleague, here to help me with experiments. We just came from Heisenberg's place. We need some data on Cadou." Miranda halts Moreau's action.

"W…Wait for me here. I'll fetch the experimental data right away." Moreau rushes into the inner room and comes out with a stack of documents.

Miranda takes the documents and hands them to you. You carefully avoid touching the suspicious green marks on top and put them into your backpack.

Miranda seems ready to leave, and so do you.

"Miranda! Newcomer! Stay for lunch with me." The person with a strange appearance shouts.

"No, thanks, Moreau." Miranda replies coldly.

Moreau leans forward and grabs something. You follow Miranda and turn around, seeing Moreau holding onto the corner of Miranda's cardigan hem, hunches his back, appearing so small and weak.

"Fine. I can accompany you for a while. Let go." Miranda pulls out the hem from his hand, speaking extremely reluctantly, "No lunch."

She looks at you inquiringly. You nod.

"Just one episode, just one episode like always," Miranda tells him.

Moreau tries to jump up excitedly, completely unaware of the stiffness in Miranda's tone. He continues playing his comedy and starts chewing on the cheese on the plate.

You and Miranda sit side by side on the stools behind Moreau, facing the TV. The comedy is amusing, Moreau giggles, and at one point, he accidentally chokes on the cheese, producing a loud cough. Miranda sits straight, showing no reaction to the comedy.

Is this cave well-ventilated? Why do you smell such a strong fishy odor?

You frown in disgust, praying for this episode to end quickly so you can leave this damp and gloomy place.

The unpleasant smell allows you to catch a faint fragrance from Miranda, like her blanket, woody and pleasant — something you like.

After another ten minutes, the fishy smell intensifies. Unable to bear it any longer, you start moving closer to Miranda, attempting to use her scent to mask the fishy odor.

The fishy smell is really strong, and your face is almost buried in her neck. When your nose brushes against her skin, she slightly recoils.

Miranda speaks.

"Moreau, control yourself."

"Mo… Miranda, I didn't mean to!" Moreau immediately apologizes.

After a while, you feel the fishy smell diminish significantly. You turn your head to rest it on Miranda's shoulder. She doesn't move, lets you lean on her.

The episode finally comes to an end, and you feel relieved.

Miranda says to Moreau, "We should go now."

You stand up quickly, ready to escape.

Moreau appears reluctant, and there seems to be tears in his eyes. "Goodbye, Miranda. Goodbye, newcomer."

Before you can say goodbye, Miranda, without looking back, pulls you away, leaving Moreau behind.

Leaving the reservoir, the air suddenly becomes incredibly fresh. You feel like your foggy brain has been liberated.

"Miranda? Shouldn't we go for lunch?" you poke her arm.

"Sure," Miranda nods.

"Are we going to the restaurant in the village, or…?"

"We'll buy ingredients and cook ourselves."

"Getting another meal from the great scientist? Looking forward to it! The apple pie and fried eggs you made this morning were just perfect." You recall their aftertaste.

Miranda smiles at your reaction. "Let's go and get some ingredients."

You can also find me here.

Thanks for reading!

Out Of The Shadows and Into The Neon (Part 17)

Draxum pulls the small vial of Leo’s blood out of cold storage (AKA the minifridge Splinter got him as an apology  for the Hidden City Teddy Bear Incident) and pulls a few drops into a syringe.

Leo’s blood is very interesting– the sample he’d looked at from Donnie back when the tots were first discovered a decade ago was mixed with saliva, diluted and difficult to work with. As a result, there were a few things that, had he had a pure sample, might’ve tipped him off to how truly unusual his grandsons are a bit sooner.

Such as the blue-green hue to Leo’s blood, making it a somewhat sludgy muted purple color rather than pure red. In small amounts it’s impossible to tell– whenever Leo has had a scrape or lost a tooth in the past, the blood was thin enough to appear normal in color. But in this thicker, purer concentration, the discoloration is noticeable even to the naked eye.

He drips the blood onto a microscope slide, then uses a vine to fetch a bubbling mix from the stovetop in the kitchen. He pulls some of it into a separate syringe, and adds one drop to the blood on the slide. He leans his hulking form over the tiny human-sized microscope and watches for a reaction.

The blood cells themselves are also interesting. It’s been clear since the boys were babies that, like most mutants and Yokai, most human illnesses didn’t really have any effect on them. But whereas with Yokai it was simple biological differences, or with Draxum’s mutants it being a result of purposeful strengthening of the immune system, Leo’s blood suggests something… more concerning.

There’s an almost corrosive element to it– not enough that it could be actually harmful to anything, even fragile human flesh, but enough that Draxum theorizes their resistance to sickness has little to do with Immune System, and more to do with viruses not being capable of surviving long enough to infect in the toxic environment.

As he watches the concentration of about a dozen human and Yokai virus cells alike mix with the sample, his theory is… given weight. Leo’s white blood cells– which aren’t white as much as they’re a teal-tinted gray– don’t even have time to react before the viruses disintegrate.

Where his ooze is based in mystic science, the mutating agent in Leo’s blood– and assumedly his brothers’ as well– is based in a science unlike anything Draxum has ever encountered. And what’s more, it’s… almost a hostile substance, based on his tests. A chemical that corrodes DNA more than simply changes it. A chemical that has a somewhat random structure in and of itself, almost like it’s the unrefined version of itself. A chemical that doesn’t seem to have been designed for purpose so much as just…

Exists, and alters whatever it comes in contact with just because it Can. 

In theory.

He’s hesitant to try and isolate the agent to confirm that theory.

He notes down his findings, then pulls out a smaller, pale purple notebook and notes the findings in a more… softened, way. The blood isn’t corrosive, it’s… potent, and the mutating agent isn’t hostile, it’s… 

It’s…

… Unique.

He puts Donnie’s notebook back in the drawer and pulls out a new clean slide.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“VOILA!” Donald throws his arms wide in front of the observatory. Leo, in an oversized hoodie and baggy pants that have such wide ankles his feet are entirely covered, has to push the hood back before he can see what the surprise is. His eyes widen, mouth dropping open, as he looks upon the building and the giant telescope rising from it.

“The observatory?” Leo’s little voice is hushed as though he might scare the whole adventure itself away by speaking too loudly. 

“Not only the observatory, my space-faring nephew, but their state-of-the-art simulator!” Donald tosses Leo up and catches him on his shoulders with ease. “Now you can view space and experience it! And no matter what my dum-dum brothers may say, simulations are as good as the real thing!” Better, even, because simulations don’t drag you down into fleshy depths, don’t crawl up your shell, don’t sink into your nervous system–

“Let’s do the other stuff first.” Leo crosses his arms on top of Donald’s head. “Um, to… save the best for last?”

Donald blinks, taking a deep breath to realign himself with the present and his own body. Nothing is on his shell but his battleshell and a hoodie. Nothing is surrounding him but silken fabric. Nothing is putting pressure on his spine but his nephew. He clears his throat and lifts his arm so Leo can see the schedule on his wristpad. “As I’d already planned. First, we go to the twenty-minute projection show about constellations, followed by a visit to the small museum they have displaying real asteroid chunks.”

Leo’s eyes go as wide as they can physically handle. “You’re kidding!”

“I do not kid about science, my dear nephew.” Donald slowly shakes his head, a very serious expression on his face, making Leo laugh in both amusement and excitement. He starts walking again, Leo still up on his shoulders. “Now, to set our expectations and make sure we have the best day possible– do you want to learn the real science behind everything, or just enjoy the incredibly awesome results of said science?”

“Real science!” Leo leans forward, throwing Donald’s balance enough that he nearly slips and has to scramble for footing again. How this still happens after well over a decade of being a master ninja, he has yet to figure out. Leo doesn’t seem phased by the slip, though. “We might need it someday, if we go to space and something goes wrong.”

“Good thinking.” Or is it? Donald steals a glance at the little list of anxiety attack triggers Leon texted him earlier that morning. ‘Malfunctioning spaceship,’ isn’t on it, but… better safe than sorry?

“Of course, if you ever went to space it’d be in my GeniusTech shuttle, which would never be sent up with failure points.”

“What about if aliens attack?”

“Then we’d have a perfectly intact functioning spaceship and an excuse to test a few experimental weapons!” He’s impressed with his own voice, it holding a steady and confident quality to it that doesn’t match the one in his own head. Alien attack. 

If an alien attacks their family ever again, it won’t end well. No matter who wins.

Leo is about to posit another worst-case-scenerio to plan for when they finally enter into the observatory itself. It’s a sort of hybrid observatory-planetarium-museum-amusement park, the grand entrance highlighting a replica of a real NASA shuttle right in the center. Leo stares up at it, mouth agape, and then without warning he swings down from Donald’s shoulders and onto the floor! He grabs his uncle’s hand on the way down, going straight into tugging Donald along as he runs to get a closer look at the craft.

“Leo! Slow down!” Oh, if that isn’t a familiar sentence to be saying. “We have all day to explore the wonders of this bastion of science and overpriced commemorative mugs! LEO!”

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mutants And Yokai Welcome

“That’s a thing?” Donnie clings to Raphie’s side. Raphie has on his white sleeveless tracksuit, while Donnie is basically swimming in light purple fabrics of a hoodie and sweatpants. Donnie reads the sign above them, over and over. “Mutant, Yokai, and human events?”

“Didn’t used to be, but, they’re gettin’ way more common.” Raphie keeps one hand behind Donnie’s back to gently pushing him forward as he walks in. “I actually didn’t know this was, though. Sorry for makin’ you wear the disguise.”

“It’s okay.” Donnie only breathes the words as he takes in the sight around him– humans, Yokai, and mutants alike all gathered, chatting and socializing like it’s the most normal thing in the world, sitting together in the stands all intermingled and excited. He’s never seen it outside of his own home and family before. Somehow it feels… impossible.

But it’s not.

Only one thing matters here, and it’s the Wrestling.

“Oh, nice!” Raphie is handed a program by a young opossum-man. “Let’s see, uh… whoa! They’re havin’ mixed fights! Ha, hate to be the human havin’ to wrestle this guy, huh?” Raphie shows Donnie a picture of one of the wrestlers, a rhino (mutant, according to his brief description by his photo) with a wrestling mask only on his horn, his face otherwise uncovered. 

Donnie tugs on the strings of his hoodie. “Uh, doesn’t that seem… dangerous? The human could get really hurt.”

“Some humans are mutant-strong without bein’ mutants.” Raphie pats his shoulder, and Donnie climbs up so Raphie doesn’t lose track of him in the crowd as they make their way to the back row. There’s already a few other Incredibly Large Mutants and Yokai taking seats in the back as well. 

“Like Uncle Casey?”

“Exactly! So, it’s probably fine. And if not, I’m gonna call your aunts so they can tell the guys runnin’ this to fix it.”

“... Uncle Raphie? Are we a Mutant Mafia?”

“Wh-what?! No! Why would you even ask that?!”

“Well–” Donnie counts it out on his fingers as he lists his pieces of evidence. “You have peace accords with enemies of yours as part of a tenuous coexistence, you all use intimidation and your superior power to get people to act in certain ways on an organized level, Dad has used illegitimately-gained money to lobby politicians–”

“None of that is crime stuff, Little Man. It’s just… ninja clan stuff!”

Donnie frowns a little. “I don’t think those are mutually exclusive.”

“Well, they are for the Hamatos.” Raphie is sweating a little. Donnie’s points are a little too compelling for comfort, and he knows he’s emanating his ‘Crisis About Life Choices’ stink.

“If you say so.” Donnie doesn’t sound convinced at all. Raphie’s never been sure if Donnie’s very-hard-to-hide emotions are a good or bad thing, really, and that’s no different now. The kid wears his heart on his metaphorical sleeve, and on his literal face, plain as cheese pizza.

“Let’s just focus on the wrestling, huh Little Man?”

“Is it true Uncle Leon once won a bunch of wrestling matches?”

“Actually, we both did! We totally mopped the floor with my favorite wrestler Ghostbear!”

“ Your favorite? ... Isn’t he a bad guy?”

“Yeah, well, he wasn’t before we mopped the floor with him.”

“So you made him a bad guy?!”

“Uh… hey, look, the announcer’s coming out! Ha-ha, better stop talkin’ about this totally-not-our-fault story!” Raphie sucks a breath in, cheeks puffed and eyes going in slightly opposite directions as a single bead of sweat rolls down his temple.

Donnie is clearly unconvinced. “You know, it’s actually good for children to learn from examples or stories of mistakes and bad behavior along with good ones.”

“But a good example is always better! Like, you know your dad, do you think he’d be a serious hero and ninja without me setting an example when we were kids?”

Donnie thinks about it as the first match starts, a pitbull-adjacent Yokai verses a jacked swan mutant. Donnie’s eyes are on the match, but his mind is clearly elsewhere as his eyes delay in tracking the movements. Raphhie worries for a moment that he’s ruined the whole experience by giving Donnie something to overthink about–

“I think Dad needed you,” Donnie says around the middle of the match as the Pitbull Yokai is trying and failing to pin the agile Swam Mutant. “But, you all needed each other, too.”

“That’s right.” Raphie sags with relief as Donnie seems satisfied with his conclusion, smiling in a smug little copy of his Dad’s smirk and fully paying attention to the match. “Families need each other, for lots of reasons.”

He can help rubbing his cracked shell as he says that, or the way his eye aches with the memories. Sometimes he can’t help but lay awake and wonder what would’ve happened if… if he hadn’t been able to be there for them. Or if Leon hadn’t. If he hadn’t blocked the spike fast enough for his younger brother, or if his younger brother hadn’t gotten through to him in time… He needs them so much, all of them, his brothers and Pops and April and the Caseys and now the boys. What if he can’t always be there for them like when he got take–

“Whoa!” Donnie tugs on Raphie’s arm, eyes wide and sparkling. “The Swan won! But-but how?! The Pitbull had so many advantages!”

Raphie grips his sweatpants and takes a deep breath. He is here. Right now. “Hey, Little Man, you’ve seen Pops beat us in training plenty a’times! You know there’s lottsa different ways to be, uh, advantage-us!”

“Advantageous.” 

“Like that! You knew how to say the word, even though you’re younger!” Raphie pats Donnie on the back. “Your dad has the same advantage!”

Donnie nods, watching as a human wrestler steps into the ring across from a Koala mutant. 

The matches pass quickly once Raphie focuses on them, cheering alongside his nephew no matter which way it goes. The human ends up winning against the Koala, thanks to some slick footwork and quick thinking. Then they watch a Bee Yokai win a fight against a Labybug Yokai, a Cactus mutant lose to a Treefrog mutant, so on and so forth until the first break.

“AAAND NOW!” The announcer cheers, flipping into the center of the ring without so much as a voice crack during the stunt, “TIME FOR A LITTLE LITTLE ACTION! WELCOME TOOOO! AMATEUR CHILD WRESTLING!”

“Uhhh.” Donnie’s pupils shrink, alongside his whole form as he presses closer to Raphie. “That seems kinda dangerous.”

“You kiddin’? You already fought a supervillain, kid!”

“I thought you were disappointed we did that.”

“As a Dad and Uncle, I am. But, as a ninja, I was impressed. So I thought this could be a good way to get some of that energy out! Y’know, safely!” Raphie stands up and puts Donnie on his shoulders. “Whaddya say? Wanna try it?”

Donnie looks down into the ring, into the crowd, watching other kids shout and jump and raise their hands. And… it is more supervised than the fight with Tweetie…

Donnie raises his hand. “Pick me! I wanna go! PICK ME!”

this might have already been better said before but i think izana being half filipino could be the reason why family has so much of an emotional (and at some point, existential) impact on him. filipinos are known to be very family-oriented, having this deep attachment to the people they either: 1. are blood related to, or 2. consider to be their 'chosen family', regardless of biological relation.

in izana's case, being the son of parents who are unknown to, and are no longer with him, there seems to be this inexplicable longing for a relative—specifically, an older brother—to experience growing up in true delinquent fashion, create lasting memories of the shenanigans they'd get themselves into, and ultimately share a familial bond with. so, after having been convinced not only through his genuine words but backed up by his consistent actions as well that shinichiro is indeed the older brother he so desires, and eventually discovering for himself that he shares not a single drop of blood to any member of the sano household, to say, "he was utterly shattered," would still very much be an understatement.

that's why i just cannot stress how important s-62 is to him. sure, he calls them his slaves, but that doesn't change the fact that he still granted their request of being their leader. he could've easily turned them down by beating them all up even more. he didn't, though. because s-62 is izana's greatest treasures. s-62 chose him; and he returned the sentiment with everything he had. which made taking all those bullets in kakucho's (and tenjiku's) place a whole lot more meaningful, painful, and worthwhile.

in the end, all i can say is he deserves the happy ending he is now rightfully living in the final, perfect timeline. to every orphan out there who dreams for someone they can call their 'family', izana and co's tenjiku is the fairy godparents who will make that wish come true.

long story short, izana's outlook on his family is such an intriguing and trauma-inducing material to slide under a microscope at 3am. although it is not 3am where i live as i type this, it sure is still a great day to appreciate what a colorful journey he's embarked on.

anyways, happy birthday, king!

Trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and single-celled organisms travel the globe high in the atmosphere. Scientists are discovering they play a vital role in the weather and even our health.Clouds are our lifelong companions. Sometimes they drift overhead as wispy filigrees. On other days, they darken the sky and dump rain on us. But for all our familiarity with these veils of water vapour, they have been keeping a secret from us. Clouds are actually floating islands of life, home to trillions of organisms from thousands of species.Along with birds and dragonflies and dandelion seeds, a vast ocean of microscopic organisms travels through the air. The French chemist Louis Pasteur was among the first scientists to recognise what scientists now call the aerobiome in 1860. He held up sterile flasks of broth and allowed floating germs to settle into them, turning the clear broth cloudy. Pasteur captured germs on the streets of Paris, in the French countryside and even on top of a glacier in the Alps. But his contemporaries balked at the idea. "The world into which you wish to take us is really too fantastic," one journalist told Pasteur at the time.It took decades for people to accept the reality of the aerobiome. In the 1930s, a few scientists took to the sky in airplanes, holding out slides and Petri dishes to catch fungal spores and bacteria in the wind. Balloon expeditions to the stratosphere captured cells there as well. Today, 21st-Century aerobiologists deploy sophisticated air-samplers on drones and use DNA-sequencing technology to identify airborne life by its genes. The aerobiome, researchers now recognise, is an enormous habitat filled only with visitors.Those visitors come from much of the planet's surface. Each time an ocean wave crashes, it hurls fine droplets of sea water into the air, some of which carry viruses, bacteria, algae and other single-celled organisms. While some of the droplets fall quickly back to the ocean, some get picked up by winds and rise up into the sky, where they can be carried for thousands of miles.On land, winds can scour the ground, lofting bacteria and fungi and other organisms. Each morning when the sun rises and water evaporates into the air, it can draw up microscopic organisms as well. Forest fires create violent updrafts that can suck microbes out of the ground and strip them off the trunks and leaves of trees, carrying them upwards with the rising smoke.Many species do not simply wait for physical forces to launch them into the air. Mosses, for example, grow a stalk with a pouch of spores at the tip, which they release like puffs of smoke into the air. As many as six million moss spores may fall on a single square metre of bog over the course of one summer. Many species of pollinating plants have sex by releasing billions of airbourne pollen grains each spring.Fungi are particularly adept at flight. They have evolved biological cannons and other means for blasting their spores into the air, and their spores are equipped with tough shells and other adaptations to endure the harsh conditions they encounter as they travel as high as the stratosphere. Fungi have been found up to 12 miles (20km) up, high above the open ocean of the Pacific, carried there on the wind.Mosses release enormous numbers of spores into the air from capsules on the end of stalks (Credit: Getty Images)By one estimate about a trillion trillion bacterial cells rise each year from the land and sea into the sky. By another estimate, 50 million tonnes of fungal spores become airborne in that same time. Untold numbers of viruses, lichen, algae and other microscopic life forms also rise into the air. It's common for them to travel for days before landing, in which time they can soar for hundreds or thousands of miles.During that odyssey, an organism may fly into a region of the air where the water vapor is condensing into droplets. It soon finds itself enveloped in one of those droplets, and updrafts may carry it up deeper inside the water mass. It has entered the heart of

🌊 Samidori Aoike (五月雨 青池)

Gender: ♀️

Talent (Potential): Aspiring Ultimate Limnologist (超高校級の「湖沼学者志望」)

Color Theme: Blue-Green (青緑) — deep stillness, aquatic clarity, bottled emotion

Personality: Frosty • Cerebral • Dismissive of small talk • Cold but not cruel

🧊 Personality

Samidori rarely blinks. She speaks as if reading data off a chart—precise, monotone, detached. While other students panic or bond, she remains distant, as if observing them from across a microscope slide.

She sees everything as a system—ecosystems, relationships, even the killing game. To her, emotion is just another variable. Samidori prefers solitude, where she can simulate environmental flow models and read hydrological journals in peace.

She may come off as cold, but she’s not heartless—just insulated. People are chaotic and messy. Water, even in its turbulence, follows rules.

🌫️ Backstory / Secrets

Born in a quiet rural town nestled between lakes, Samidori spent more time in waders than school shoes. While other kids played tag, she was collecting data on pH levels and algal blooms. Her mother, a biochemist, instilled in her a scientific hunger but discouraged emotional dependence.

Samidori entered numerous youth science competitions and won international attention for her early thesis on anthropogenic nitrate pollution in freshwater bodies. She dreamed of becoming the world’s foremost limnologist—until she lost someone to a flash flood that she should have predicted.

Since then, she's buried herself deeper into data, trying to find perfect control in a world that won’t stop overflowing. Hope’s Peak scouted her before she could even graduate.

Secret: She forged one of her research results to escape scrutiny after that death. If anyone discovers this flaw in her supposedly “perfect” models, her credibility—and self-worth—could collapse like a dried reservoir.

✔️ Likes

Watersheds and field data

Ice-cold tea

Precision instruments

Weather patterns

Environmental equilibrium

❌ Dislikes

Overemotional behavior

Pollutants—both literal and metaphorical

Casual touch

Hypocrisy in science

Being compared to marine biologists ("Lakes aren't oceans, idiot.")

🈳 Name Etymology

Samidori (五月雨) — “Early summer rain” or “May rain,” symbolic of quiet, steady downpours and hidden emotion beneath calm surfaces.

Aoike (青池) — “Blue pond.” A direct tie to her limnological obsession and color theme. Suggests a reflective, untouched stillness, hiding unknown depths.

Her full name paints the picture of a cold rain falling into an undisturbed lake—beautiful, serene, and unknowable.

🌊 Free-Time Event Hints

She may open up slightly while discussing eutrophication and how systems die from within.

One event involves analyzing you like a biological specimen—until she realizes you're more unpredictable than expected.

Her final event reveals her guilt over the death, questioning whether science makes her cold... or if she always was.

If bonded closely, she admits she has never cried—not since the flood.

The Role of Breast Pathologists in Cancer Detection and Treatment"

When we think about the battle against breast cancer, surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists often come to mind. Yet behind every diagnosis and treatment plan is the critical, often unsung work of breast pathologists. These specialists are the backbone of cancer detection, diagnosis, and personalized treatment strategies.

Who Are Breast Pathologists?

Breast pathologists are physicians who specialize in diagnosing diseases of the breast, particularly breast cancer, by examining tissue samples under a microscope. They play a vital role in interpreting biopsies, surgical specimens, and even imaging-guided fine-needle aspirations. Their detailed analysis provides the foundational information upon which all further medical decisions are based.

Why Their Role Is So Crucial

1. Accurate Diagnosis: A radiologist may identify a suspicious mass through imaging, but it’s the breast pathologist who confirms whether that mass is benign, pre-cancerous, or malignant. Their precise diagnosis helps avoid unnecessary treatments or ensures timely intervention when needed.

2. Tumor Typing and Staging: Breast cancer is not a single disease; it comes in many forms with different behaviors and treatment responses. Pathologists determine the exact type and grade of the cancer, its invasiveness, and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other tissues.

3. Identifying Biomarkers: Breast pathologists conduct special tests to find out if the cancer cells have hormone receptors (like estrogen or progesterone) or overexpress certain proteins (like HER2). These markers are key to choosing the most effective treatments, such as hormone therapy or targeted drugs.

4. Guiding Personalized Treatment: Because no two cancers are identical, modern treatment plans are highly personalized. A breast pathologist’s detailed report helps oncologists craft a plan tailored to the biological behavior of the tumor, significantly improving outcomes.

5. Monitoring for Recurrence: In patients with a history of breast cancer, pathologists also analyze new lesions to determine if they are recurrences, new cancers, or benign changes — crucial distinctions for future care.

Behind the Scenes: A Complex Process

From the moment a biopsy is performed, the tissue undergoes several careful steps:

Fixation and Processing: Preserving the tissue’s microscopic structure.

Sectioning and Staining: Preparing thin slices and applying dyes to highlight different tissue features.

Microscopic Examination: Detailed analysis to identify abnormalities.

Advanced Testing: Immunohistochemistry and molecular testing for specific biomarkers.

Every step demands precision, skill, and an expert eye.

The Human Side of the Microscope

Beyond the technical expertise, breast pathologists carry the emotional weight of their diagnoses. Every slide they review represents a person anxiously awaiting answers. Their commitment to accuracy doesn’t just impact medical charts — it changes lives.

In many cases, pathologists also participate in multidisciplinary team meetings, discussing cases directly with surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and radiologists to ensure cohesive and comprehensive patient care.

Conclusion

Breast pathologists are the invisible champions in the fight against breast cancer. Their expert analysis forms the bedrock of detection, informs the best therapeutic strategies, and plays a central role in a patient’s journey from diagnosis to recovery. As advancements in molecular pathology and precision medicine continue to evolve, the role of breast pathologists will only become more vital.

Market Growth Drivers

The demand for slide stainers is increasing due to several factors, including the aging global population, the rising burden of chronic diseases, advancements in slide-staining technology, and the growing need for personalized medicine. Additionally, the increasing focus on automation in diagnostics and research, higher healthcare spending, and expanding cancer drug research further drive market growth. Emerging economies and rising adoption of automated diagnostic systems also present significant opportunities.

However, the high cost of slide stainer systems is a major restraint, and concerns regarding automation and a shortage of skilled professionals pose additional challenges to market expansion.

Impact of the Aging Population and Chronic Diseases

Slide stainers play a crucial role in pathology and histology, aiding in diagnosing and managing chronic diseases that require continuous monitoring. The global aging population is expanding due to improved healthcare, urbanization, and rising income levels, leading to increased survival rates.

According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 65 years or older was 727 million in 2020, representing 9.3% of the global population. By 2050, this figure is projected to reach 1.54 billion (16% of the total population), with one in four people in Europe and North America being 65 years or older. This demographic shift is largely due to declining fertility rates and increased life expectancy. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that, for the first time, the global elderly population exceeded children under five.

With the aging population, cases of age-related chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory conditions are rising. In 2021, the WHO estimated that 41 million deaths worldwide were caused by chronic diseases, accounting for 74% of all global deaths. Cardiovascular diseases led the toll with 17.9 million deaths annually, followed by chronic respiratory diseases (4.1 million) and cancers (9.3 million).

Non-invasive

Provides an initial assessment

Limitations:

Cannot identify mould species

May overlook hidden mould growth

Requires expertise to differentiate mould from dirt or stains

2. Tape Lift Sampling

Tape lift sampling is a simple yet effective technique in Surface Mould Analysis. A piece of adhesive tape is pressed against the affected surface and then placed on a microscope slide. The sample is then examined under a microscope to identify fungal structures and spores.

Advantages:

Easy and non-destructive

Provides immediate microscopic identification

Useful for small-scale sampling

Limitations:

Does not provide information on viable spores

Cannot determine mould concentration in the air

3. Swab Sampling

Swab sampling involves rubbing a sterile swab over the affected surface to collect mould particles. The sample is then cultured in a laboratory to identify the specific mould species.

Advantages:

Useful for small, hard-to-reach areas

Helps identify viable mould species

Provides insight into microbial activity

Limitations:

Time-consuming due to lab processing

Limited to the sampled area

4. Bulk Sampling

Bulk sampling involves collecting a piece of the affected material, such as drywall or wood, for further laboratory analysis. This method provides in-depth information on the extent of contamination.

Advantages:

Provides detailed laboratory analysis

Helps assess internal mould growth

Can identify hidden contamination

Limitations:

Destructive testing

Requires laboratory processing

5. Air Sampling for Surface Mould Analysis

Air sampling helps assess airborne mould spores that may have originated from surface mould. It involves using air pumps to capture spores on a filter, which is then analyzed under a microscope or cultured in a lab.

Advantages:

Identifies airborne spores

Provides insight into indoor air quality

Helps assess contamination spread

Limitations:

Does not directly analyze surface mould

Requires expert interpretation

6. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) Testing

ATP testing detects microbial contamination on surfaces by measuring biological activity. A swab is used to collect a sample, which is then tested with a luminometer.

Advantages:

Provides rapid results

Useful for hygiene assessments

Non-destructive method

Limitations:

Does not specifically identify mould species

May not detect dormant spores

7. DNA-Based Analysis (PCR Testing)

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is a modern molecular method used in surface mould analysis. It detects and amplifies mould DNA to identify species with high accuracy.

Advantages:

Highly specific and accurate

Detects both viable and non-viable mould

Provides results faster than culture-based methods

Limitations:

Expensive

Requires specialized laboratory equipment

8. Mycotoxin Testing

Trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses and single-celled organisms travel the globe high in the atmosphere. Scientists are discovering they play a vital role in the weather and even our health.Clouds are our lifelong companions. Sometimes they drift overhead as wispy filigrees. On other days, they darken the sky and dump rain on us. But for all our familiarity with these veils of water vapour, they have been keeping a secret from us. Clouds are actually floating islands of life, home to trillions of organisms from thousands of species.Along with birds and dragonflies and dandelion seeds, a vast ocean of microscopic organisms travels through the air. The French chemist Louis Pasteur was among the first scientists to recognise what scientists now call the aerobiome in 1860. He held up sterile flasks of broth and allowed floating germs to settle into them, turning the clear broth cloudy. Pasteur captured germs on the streets of Paris, in the French countryside and even on top of a glacier in the Alps. But his contemporaries balked at the idea. "The world into which you wish to take us is really too fantastic," one journalist told Pasteur at the time.It took decades for people to accept the reality of the aerobiome. In the 1930s, a few scientists took to the sky in airplanes, holding out slides and Petri dishes to catch fungal spores and bacteria in the wind. Balloon expeditions to the stratosphere captured cells there as well. Today, 21st-Century aerobiologists deploy sophisticated air-samplers on drones and use DNA-sequencing technology to identify airborne life by its genes. The aerobiome, researchers now recognise, is an enormous habitat filled only with visitors.Those visitors come from much of the planet's surface. Each time an ocean wave crashes, it hurls fine droplets of sea water into the air, some of which carry viruses, bacteria, algae and other single-celled organisms. While some of the droplets fall quickly back to the ocean, some get picked up by winds and rise up into the sky, where they can be carried for thousands of miles.On land, winds can scour the ground, lofting bacteria and fungi and other organisms. Each morning when the sun rises and water evaporates into the air, it can draw up microscopic organisms as well. Forest fires create violent updrafts that can suck microbes out of the ground and strip them off the trunks and leaves of trees, carrying them upwards with the rising smoke.Many species do not simply wait for physical forces to launch them into the air. Mosses, for example, grow a stalk with a pouch of spores at the tip, which they release like puffs of smoke into the air. As many as six million moss spores may fall on a single square metre of bog over the course of one summer. Many species of pollinating plants have sex by releasing billions of airbourne pollen grains each spring.Fungi are particularly adept at flight. They have evolved biological cannons and other means for blasting their spores into the air, and their spores are equipped with tough shells and other adaptations to endure the harsh conditions they encounter as they travel as high as the stratosphere. Fungi have been found up to 12 miles (20km) up, high above the open ocean of the Pacific, carried there on the wind.Mosses release enormous numbers of spores into the air from capsules on the end of stalks (Credit: Getty Images)By one estimate about a trillion trillion bacterial cells rise each year from the land and sea into the sky. By another estimate, 50 million tonnes of fungal spores become airborne in that same time. Untold numbers of viruses, lichen, algae and other microscopic life forms also rise into the air. It's common for them to travel for days before landing, in which time they can soar for hundreds or thousands of miles.During that odyssey, an organism may fly into a region of the air where the water vapor is condensing into droplets. It soon finds itself enveloped in one of those droplets, and updrafts may carry it up deeper inside the water mass. It has entered the heart of
