Author's note: this chapter is from Seraphina's point of view
---
I went to Aldus's lab that evening, for my usual round of tests.
Part of me feared that I will bump into Lazarus on my way there, or that he might be in the lab, and I exhaled in relief when I reached safely and saw that only Aldus is present.
Aldus did the regular tests and told me that I can go to my room, but I was not willing to leave.
Since I woke up in Aldus's lab in Venice, everything is confusing, but today definitely tops the charts of extraordinary and for some inexplicable reason, I had a feeling that this is only the beginning.
My head buzzed with millions of questions and frankly, I was restless.
Lazarus's appearance and my talk with Aldus from that afternoon left me in a state of anxiety like I just finished a super-exciting chapter of a novel that ended with a cliffhanger.
"We are done, you can go to your room.", Aldus repeated while putting blood vials into one of his numerous machines.
