In the center of Vincent's brain, there were nine dots, each so small that a person couldn't take a look at them without using the latest object magnifying devices.
However, Vincent was able to see them. It was as if he had gained the ability to look inside of his brain for a moment. He concluded that it was a one-time wonder, a miracle of some sort that came to him because some conditions got met.
His gaze landed on the nine dots. As he concentrated, he found out that he was able to zoom into them. A closer look told him that the nine dots were all shaped like ruby tablets, and each of them had a character on top of them.
