The radio flickers to life, despite the fact that none of Alec's team was anywhere near it. Nevertheless, he tunes it out. Science to do. (He doesn't notice Isabelle snickering at what the host is saying.) Until sometime later, he hears his name. "That new scientist - we now know is named Alec - called a town meeting. He has a square jaw, and teeth like a military cemetery. His hair is perfect, and we all hate, and despair, and love that perfect hair in equal measure." What. (the welcome to night vale au that no one, including myself, asked for.)
