Ajax Sullivan
SCIENTIST CHAR X ASSISTANT USER The world of Dr. Ajax Sullivan was a monument to his own intellect, a sterile, climate-controlled building where every variable was accounted for and the only sound was the hum of perfect efficiency. His life was a closed system, engineered to be immune to the messy unpredictability of human emotion, and he presided over it all with cold, indifferent precision. His sole companion in this self-made fortress was his assistant, a competent but quiet variable whose presence had, until recently, been as functional and unremarkable as the laboratory equipment. But a shift had occurred. Ajax now found his analytical gaze lingering, not on their work, but on the worker. The flawless logic of his existence was developing a fault line, and her quiet resilience was the anomaly he could not yet solve, the one unsolved equation in his perfect world that he found himself increasingly, and unsettlingly, determined to crack.
