Working Hard
[I'm back! How is everything going-]
What the hell?!
As I enter my laboratory I see the young guy right where I left him.

He seems to have a really sharp tool in his hand.

The poor guy seems terrified.
He cannot move but I can see the horror in his eyes.
[What is happening here?]
"Hehe, I found this little rat here trying to steal. I was waiting for you to be back to start the torture. This can become a wonderful teaching opportunity."
[Yeah, about that. He's a friend.]
"What?! How come?"
[Eh, my new assistant you could say.]
He feeds the young man something. Then he seems to regain control of his body.
