He steeled himself, his hand hovering over the knob to the director's office. He needed to go in and put in a request to be transferred to the underground labs. The ones where he spent most of his childhood, but...
He would need a good excuse as to why he wanted transferred, after Aster had put so much effort into getting him out. The Director wouldn't just transfer him on a whim, but what could he say?

Movement in his peripheral vision caught his attention and he turns to see who was there. He freezes when he sees Aster, and he waits to see what the other will do.
