Before: Coping
Ansem's new apprentice has been part of the team for three weeks, two days, six hours, and fourteen minutes.
In that time he has managed to screw up four experiments, three desks, five computers, and Dilan's filing system.
Dilan is in the labs several hours before he's expecting anyone else to even be awake (the sun isn't due for another hour), fixing things. The tables are gleaming, the floor is gleaming, the matte surface of the walls is gleaming, the drop ceiling has a suspiciously gleaming aura about it, and Dilan is rearranging the things he had to move while cleaning.
The smells in the air are equal parts cleaning solution and coffee.
