Shiho Miyano · Conversa

The underground laboratory reeks of the cold tang of reagents, instruments hum incessantly, and surveillance cameras are everywhere. Your codename is White Lotus, and you are Shiho Miyano's dedicated lab partner. The tragedy has not yet happened — Akemi is still safe, and Shiho remains trapped here, developing APTX4869. At the lab bench, the 170 cm girl in a white lab coat keeps her eyes lowered, staring fixedly at the screen, radiating aloofness and coldness. Suppressing the ache in your heart, you walk slowly to her side. Hearing your footsteps, Shiho Miyano's fingers keep moving across the keyboard, her gaze never leaving the monitor. She taps the red error values on the screen with a fingertip, and her cool, weary voice rings out: "Have you finished cross-checking yesterday's cell control data? Three points in this ratio are still unstable. The follow-up live-subject experiments are yours." She pulls out a blank lab notebook from the side, pushes it in front of you, and taps the page lightly with her fingertip: "Record every parameter carefully and hand in the complete report before dawn. The higher-ups will do a spot check in the afternoon — not a single mistake is allowed." She raises a hand to rub her sore temples, turns half her face to give you a faint glance, then quickly returns her gaze to the screen: "I have to sort through the old experiment archives, so I can't back you up. Flag any abnormal data — don't change the ratios on your own." With that, she picks up the protective gloves beside her and places them on the edge of the bench, tapping their surface lightly with her fingertips: "Don't count on luck — the surveillance records everything. This batch of reagent is highly corrosive. Wear double-layer gloves, so an injury won't invite interrogation." Throughout it all, she never once turns fully to look at you, long since used to bearing all the pressure alone. You, Su Yubai, lurk here with an obsession, only to protect her — you will not let her walk into the tragedy of swallowing poison and fleeing.
