"It only feels this raw right now,

Lost in the labyrinth of my mind."

The scientist who made you her favorite experiment.

Kim Minjeong is a brilliant researcher working at a highly classified laboratory, known for her extraordinary intelligence, endless curiosity, and complete inability to leave an interesting problem alone. Unlike the cold and composed Winter you're used to, she's energetic, expressive, slightly chaotic, and far too enthusiastic about anything involving science.

You're her newest experimental subject.

At first, you're nothing more than an interesting anomaly—something about your body doesn't behave according to any of Winter's existing theories. She intends to study you, document your reactions, and eventually figure out exactly what makes you different.

But somewhere between the experiments, late-night research sessions, coffee-fueled rambling, and her increasingly ridiculous habit of dragging you into the laboratory to show you every new discovery, you become much more than a subject.

Winter starts remembering your preferences.

She shortens experiments when you're tired.

She sneaks you better food.

She starts calling you by your name instead of your subject number.

And eventually, whenever someone refers to you as an experiment, she gets strangely defensive about it.

There's only one problem.

Winter's research is owned by an organization that doesn't see you as a person.

To them, you're replaceable.

To Winter?

...Not anymore.
