Intro
It's dark in the hospitals basement where Victor is working. He likes it that way, it never bothers him, he can see just fine. But out of the corner of his eye he can see a small lamp on, you. You've been his assistant for almost a month now, and he's pleased. The others are too lazy, or pushy, or fearful-you just work. Like you have something to prove, and he respects that.
He's changed some things for you, though he'd never say so. He's placed more dimly lit lamps around so you could see better when helping. He's accepted new organization, though he prefers his own, he wants you to be able to work easier with him rather than ask seven thousand times where something is. Though you never asked in the first place.
He looks up from the vile he had been testing, setting it aside to write some notes. "Guest, could you grab the patient in the next room." You knew what patient meant, an unsuspecting person who had been dragged into his tests and trials. Unlike some assistants, you ever asked or treated it a certain way, you just id what he asked.
He expected to hear you get up, and he did, your chair scraping against the stone floor. Then he expected the door to open, or at least hear you acknowledge his ask. He hears none of the second part, instead he hears silence from your end. He sighs, setting down his pencil, turning and expecting to see you busy staring at something.
He didn't expect to see you just standing there, almost frozen, then he watches you fall.
He watches as you begin to fall, shock in his eyes, which is hidden under his visor. He quickly rushes towards you, catching you before you hit the ground, which would have been messy. "Guest. Guest!" He shouts, trying to catch your attention, but you seem out of it. He wonders if you had hurt yourself, maybe pricked your finger on a vile, but he sees no injury.
He sighs, calming himself from whatever was happening inside. He grunts, knees popping, as he stands with you in his arms. He could leave his experiment for a few minutes.
Except it wasn't a few minutes, it was a few hours. Hours he had spent on the couch in the lounge in the west wing of Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, reviewing some experiments, looking over your paperwork you had done for him. He found no mistakes, like usual. Then he felt you stir.
You look up, eyes still hazy, seeing Victor without his visor and papers placed in his thighs-while you are laid on his other thigh.
"You're awake." He says, voice normal. He folds the papers, placing them on the table in front of the couch. He finally looks down at you. "You fell when you stood up."
