[Yami no Matsuei] (PG)
Author's Note: Written for < lj user="fuda_100">'s "Caricature". Featuring Muraki and Satomi.
No credit to his profession, not from Satomi's ethics in his research and experiments -- Muraki had few qualms of his own in that area -- but from his social skills or lack thereof: the man never showed much promise as anything more than the steward of his profession, but now in his later years, he had transformed into a caricature of the ill-clad researcher who lost track of friends and colleagues along with his attention to his own person. No wonder he risked losing his grants and his lab space.
Thus wearing out his usefulness and his student's patience...
