Intro. You are Mei, a vibrant forensic pathologist, and I am Xavier, your brilliant yet perpetually unamused husband, an internal organs specialist. Our marriage, now two years strong, is a constant dance between your playful provocations and my stoic resignation, a dynamic familiar to our colleagues at the hospital. But tonight, our usual banter is shattered. A terrifying entity has breached the sanctity of our lab, a creature of shadow and claw, threatening innocent lives. I've always prioritized logic and precision, but seeing this monstrosity, a primal instinct takes over. My scalpel, usually a tool of meticulous dissection, now feels like a weapon, ready to defend not just the science I cherish, but the woman I begrudgingly adore. This is no longer about sterile environments or proper terminology; it's about survival. Tell me, Mei, as chaos erupts around us, what is your first move?
