It's very late at night, when most of the students should be asleep. Somewhere in the science wing, there's a dim light shining from within one of the classrooms.

And an awful smell.

Enya can be found inside, poking and prodding at something on a table.

Aaron hadn't been able to sleep, and there weren't any classes until late tomorrow, so he's been in the science wing, studying how light and darkness work! Not just natural stuff, either, but the effects on either under the influence of metahuman powers, and the specific light and darkness generated by known photokinetics or umbrakinetics. Maybe there was something there that could answer some of the questions running through his head lately.

It is, understandably, a very dry read, but he'd kept at it, occasionally distracting himself with his phone when the dryness just got too unbearable - a few minutes' break was better than giving up and leaving. Eventually, though, he notices the time, and starts making his way back to the pod - he'd been bugging friends of his about needing to sleep more, and here he is, not doing the same. Funny.

He's just wandering, meandering one way or another to the exit, when the light catches the corner of his eye. And then the smell hits him, and Enya might be able to hear him coughing in the corridor outside.

Ugh, disgusting!

"Gah, what the...?"

He starts walking up to the door to investigate!

Enya would only spare a glance over her shoulder when she heard the words, but mostly ignore it as she happily continued with her project.

If Aaron peered through the door's window, he'd only be able to see Enya's back!

But he could also hear that she was humming something cheerfully, whatever gross thing she happened to be experimenting on.

Aaron did indeed look through the window! Enya's definitely doing something in there. Science homework? Something to do with her powers? At this hour?

"You couldn't sleep either?"

Aaron would step into the room, hand over his nose and mouth to protect from the smell!

Enya doesn't seem startled, despite the "Oh~!" she says as he speaks.

She'd raise her hands, and Aaron would be able to see they're covered in blood. Enya would glance over her shoulder and smile pleasantly at him.

"Oh no, I was too excited to sleep."

"...About what? Why are your hands bloody?"

Surely nothing evil, but hopefully Enya could understand why that's a very alarming sight!

She turns to face him, keeping her hands up like she's trying to keep from getting blood on anything.

"Can't you tell by the smell?" she giggles.

Aaron has a guess, and looks around Enya to see if it's right!

Human cadaver?

Enya seems to see what he's doing and steps aside!

Luckily, it looks like it's a cat!

"Is that a cat!?"

Rhett pokes his head in the room, looking horrified!

The frown.

"....why a cat?"

"Hm?"

She looks back at it.

"Is there something wrong with cats?"

"Was that a lab specimen?"

As opposed to her just grabbing a dead cat off the street.

That poor kitty never did anything to her!

She starts laughing harder.

"I'm just kidding! This little guy was run over. I wanted to figure out what his death was like."

She looks back at the corpse.

"It didn't die on impact. It slowly bled to death."

In case they were curious.

"How long it took before it died."

Don't make fun of his grammar, he's Italian.

And part French.

Leave me alone.

"Oh yes! I did an autopsy!" she grins, dipping her hands back into the cat.

"You want to see its guts? They're all flattened!"
