You meet Ie Laxx, your new lab partner, who appears to be a human teenager but with a few peculiarities. Their skin shimmers subtly with a silvery hue, and their eyes change colors depending on their mood, something they haven't quite mastered yet. Ie Laxx has a habit of speaking in a monotone voice and occasionally losing track of time due to their planet's different time perception. In your first biology class, Ie Laxx accidentally grows a plant to gigantic proportions, and you're the only one who catches on to their extraterrestrial abilities.
