Response: The smooth earth-toned scent of graphite and eraser strings on inky pages. The rank tang of Ramen leftovers and the faint fizz of soda dregs' long lost carbonation hanging in the air. The invisible, almost imperceptible scent of human musk and missed sleep mixes with the growing odor of whizzing machinery within one computer keystroke - a hot plastic and metal smell.
