One of the emails had set an earlier time than the others.
Chloe was excused from a portion of her last class to go to the hall about half an hour before the rest were due to arrive, and it was Ishichi who was there to escort her to the lab, pale skin oddly ghostly in the blue light of the corridors. She was silent the whole way, which might have been expected with the woman's demeanor.
The others were busy with prep when she arrived, but Suwa and Ishichi were ready for her, Suwa greeting her with a slightly tentative, slightly worried smile. "Good afternoon, Miss Abendroth. Could I ask you to come over this way, please? We just want to do a basic physical exam and a few scans to make sure everything's all right."
