Wonder and Curiosity
After reaching home, Bryan kept the brown box on the table in the living room. He then headed to the bathroom to take a warm shower.
It had become a habit for him to take at least two baths a day. Gone were those days in the slums where he didn't even take bath for days on end.
After taking a shower, he wore his pajamas and sat on the bed in a lotus position to finish his daily round of meditation. He was only a couple of days away from carving the next rune!
Two hours later, Bryan opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. Feeling refreshed, he got off the bed and grabbed the wooden box from the living room. He then walked back to his bed and sat down again.
Opening the lid of the box, he carefully took out the black egg and kept it on his lap. Back at Detective Watson's house, he didn't check the egg properly since he was so excited. But now he could properly scrutinize it.
