Carbonation Bubbles

The door to the lab slid open, Marz stepping through. Tangent quickly looked up from her work to see who it was, visibly relaxing when she realized it was only Marz. She swiftly shifted her focus back onto the task at hand, ignoring the girl standing infront of her.

“You’ve been in here for days,” Marz says, placing her hands on her hips. Tangent looks up once more, finally stepping away from her microscope. She sighs and looks back at her friend.

“This is important work that needs to be done. I can’t just sit by and let Instance take over my work, I'm better than that” She rubs her temples as she speaks, eyes closed. 

“When was the last time you slept?” Marz asks, “You look terrible.”

“How kind” Tangent rolls her eyes, “It's been about three days.”

“3 days? Oh absolutely not girl, go to sleep” Marz says, “Just because your augment lets you sleep less doesn’t mean you can't stop sleeping, you’re still human.”

“Don’t remind me.” Tangent narrows her eyes at the girl before walking over to a stool nearby and sitting down. Marz walks over and examines the girl. Despite her augment everything about Tangent just looks tired, her eyes, her body, her aura, everything. The bags under her eyes certainly aren't helping. Marz hands Tangent an energy drink and sighs.

“Will you at least have this if you won't rest? I care about you Tang” Marz says, albeit a bit awkwardly. Tangent looks up and stalls for a moment, seemingly considering before caving and taking the drink. She pulls up the tab, the sound carbonation escaping filling the quiet room.

“I'll sleep after this, okay?” Tangent says, looking Marz in the eyes.

“Okay.”
