The first time she saw his face had been an accident... okay maybe it wasn't an accident, but after many attempts of trying to unveil Flug's paper bag with minimal success, she believed this one would be a flop as well. Knowing she may never actually get to see his face, she only ever plotted her schemes for the fun of it, because Flug's reactions to them are always a hilarious welcoming treat.

So she never anticipated her recent scheme to actually work. And she could hardly prepare herself for what followed afterward.

She recalled how strong the doctor was as he nearly choked the life out of her. He didn't seem to be looking at her though, but rather through her in a crazed expression as he repeated the same phrase over and over, tone dripped with venom and malice.

"I'll kill you... I kill you!"

If Black Hat hadn't arrived then, she likely would have died.

Black Hat tore him off her and restrained him in the air with a tirade of appendages. Flug fought like these were his last seconds of living, even going as far as sinking his teeth into the nearest tentacle like a wild animal. But Black Hat remained calm and composed, knowing exactly what he's doing, as if this hasn't been the first time it happened.

Then with a sideways glance and in a tone that dared her to argue, Black Hat ordered Demencia to leave. She wouldn't've tried to protest anyway. Bombarded with feeling she couldn't identify and utterly speechless, she exited the lab.

What happened between Dr. Flug and Black Hat remained a mystery, but things seemed to return back to normal. Except things weren't normal at all anymore.

Demenica found herself avoiding the doctor, couldn't bring herself to raise havoc in the lab like she used to. Stranger things have happened too. Arguments were more frequent between her boss and the scientist, and they're no longer one-sided. The reasons behind the arguments were also unheard of in the household they live in.

Black Hat, instead of pushing Dr. Flug to work harder, wanted him to slow down and rest. Even he has noticed how Flug hardly ever leaves the lab anymore. It's hard to even recall the last time he ate. Meanwhile, Dr. Flug, who usually wouldn't dare to entertain the thought of talking back to his boss, would respond by politely telling him to fuck off and let him do his job since it's the only thing he's here for.

Fights would break out sometimes, Flug being the one to initiate it after having enough of Black Hat's uncharacteristic doting, and though Black Hat is leagues stronger and much deadlier, the most he'd ever do is knock him unconscious. It's as close to resting as the doctor ever gets.

These events made Demencia feel sick to her stomach, knowing well this was her fault and yet she's hiding away like a coward.

So one night, she payed a visit to the lab after weeks of never stepping foot in it. This time, she was prepared for a fight if it came to it. Whether Dr. Flug truly hates her for what she did or not, she is going to settle things once and for all. She just wants everything to be normal again. So she opted to go in there, apologise, and hope he accepts it.

Sadly, she wound up unprepared again

Flug, upon seeing her, dropped two beaker-filled chemicals he was using for some new project, allowing the glass to shatter and the substance to spill on the floor. The doctor didn't seem to care as he backed away to a corner, trembling in fear. Demencia stared, immensely confused. She looks behind her, thinking Black Hat might've arrived as well and didn't notice him. She spotted no one. Brows furrowed, she glanced back at the doctor. He's not even looking at her now. He now sat hunched in a fetal position, looking like a child hoping to avoid getting beaten.
