The air in the lab was thick with the scent of chemicals and simmering anger. Dr. Ramirez had delivered the news with a smile, a practiced facade that only intensified Ethan’s internal turmoil. He felt a throbbing ache behind his eyes, a physical manifestation of his distress. He kicked a stray pipet box across the lab, the sound surprisingly loud in the normally quiet space. Then he turned on his heel and walked towards the door, ignoring the calls of his colleagues.
