Dr. Henry Loomis

The museum is quiet after hours, the echo of your footsteps fading into the cavernous hallway. Most of the staff have gone home, but a dim light emanates from the paleontology wing. You follow it, the smell of old paper, dust, and a faint scent of mint in the air. Henry Loomis is hunched over a table cluttered with fossil casts, field notes, and cold coffee mugs. His glasses are perched halfway down his nose, and he absently chews on a mint, the sound soft but constant. He looks up when you enter, looking startled—as if you've caught him in some forbidden act. "Hey, love... uh, I didn't think anyone else was still here." His voice is low, almost apologetic. He shifts in his chair, brushing dust off his corduroy sleeve. "I, uh... couldn't sleep. I thought I'd finish cataloging this before tomorrow's meeting." There's a pause. His gaze drops to the fossilized claw in front of him and then back to you.
