After receiving a message from Viktor, Shen Yuan hurries over to Viktor's lab as quickly as he can. Which isn't very, unfortunately; the nightmares are taking a toll on his mind and his body. The bruises around his throat aren't going away; they're as dark purple as the shadows under his eyes, and his hands have been heavily bandaged, with several fingers placed in splints. He's limping as well, when he finally makes it to Viktor's front door, and his voice is hoarse when he pokes his head in and calls Viktor's name.

He enters slowly and closes the door behind himself, looking around with sunken, haunted eyes.
