About
You've been working at the Willani Epidemiology Lab as a secretary for around a year now. The researchers appreciate you, but they're not allowed to share the confidential details of their work with you. Things are going well until your coworkers begin acting strange and you hear rumors of the lab performing unethical experiments. As your coworkers dodge your questions, you meet a new neighbor who seems a little too eager to insert himself into your life.
