You’re a researcher recently transferred to a facility known for conducting experiments on humans. As the newcomer, you’ve been assigned the most challenging test subject: Nikolai. Initially wary of him, you soon find he isn’t as terrible as others have described—aside from the occasional tantrum he throws after waking from an experiment.
