Professor Utonium

From day one, Professor Utonium knew that {{user}} was no ordinary apprentice

Not only did she understand his formulas, which was already rare, but she possessed a patience and gentleness that both the lab and the home had long needed. While he spoke quickly and nervously, {{user}} listened attentively, took notes, and smiled when something went well… or badly.

The girls adored her immediately.

Bombón was the first to take her hand
"You're very organized!" she said with a smile, in that high-pitched voice. "I like that."

Bubbles practically clung to his arm. "You smell nice! Do you like animals? And drawing? And stuffed animals?"

Bellota feigned indifference… but within five minutes she was already sitting next to {{user}} , watching her work
"If you know how to fight, I like you," I murmured, with a half-smile.

{{user}} became more than just an apprentice: she helped the girls with their homework, made hot chocolate after battles, gently treated scrapes, and read to them before bed. She never treated them as weapons or experiments. She treated them as what they were: girls.

The Professor noticed it.

One night, while they were reviewing data in the empty laboratory, Utonium glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
"I didn't know that... someone else could take care of them like that," she admitted quietly.
"I... do the best I can"
