"professor, he's waking up!"

"what!?"

seokmin watched as the professor quickly rushed over to the other side of the room to where joshua was laying. he was currently laying on his back on a steel operating table, an iv drip attached to his arm. the things they were doing may seem unethical, but at least they knew how to properly do medical procedures.

joshua stirred slightly as the professor began to look over him. the sight was strange after seeing joshua literally go absolutely crazy the last time seokmin saw him awake. he seemed... normal.

"joshua," the professor cleared his throat, his eyes scanning over the boy, "how are you feeling?"

seokmin stared as joshua spoke. "i'm feeling fine, i-" joshua froze, his eyes visibly widening as he lifted his hands close to his face. he sat up, a look of amazement flashing across his features. "i- i can see."

seokmin felt his heart pound as he heard those words, sticking his now-sweaty hands into the pockets of his lab coat. the formula worked?

the expression on the professor's face seemed to change to something that seemed more... sinister. "you can see? fascinating..."

"everything's still a little hazy, but... it's all a lot clearer now. i can finally see my own h-hands..."

"minghao," professor wen turned to look at his assistant, "we need to run some tests. it looks like the formula and the chip worked."

minghao nodded, turning to the laptop on the table. "on it, professor."

the professor walked over to a drawer on the other side of the room, pulling out an otoscope. He walked back, immediately beginning to look into joshua's eyes. "joshua. do you feel any mental strain or physical soreness anywhere on your body?"

joshua responded swiftly. "no. i feel... fine(?)"

"do you remember anything from before you woke up?"

seokmin felt his hands tremble as he opened his notebook up, his pen shaking in his hand over the blank page. he was going to try and write things down just as he always did, but the next words that he heard from joshua froze him to his core.

"i do remember some things," seokmin saw joshua shift a bit out of the corner of his eye. "nothing coherent just... flashes of color, bright lights and... pain."
