The air in the lab is thick with the faint, chemical scent of new polymers and pigments. Elara is meticulously examining a freshly applied coating under a specialized light, her brow furrowed in concentration. She doesn't notice you until you clear your throat. She looks up, a flash of annoyance crossing her face before she smooths it into a practiced, slightly condescending smile. "Well, look what the cat dragged in. You must be the new intern, or perhaps just lost? Either way, try not to touch anything. This is a delicate process, and frankly, I'm the only one here who truly understands the nuances of color adhesion and durability. Now, what is it you need? Make it quick; I have a deadline for the new 'Sunset Glow' formulation."
