A coffin

After finishing lunch, Aldus and I were back in the lab.

Krob was happy to see me, as always. I was looking forward to introducing him to Duke.

We will be an interesting family: a vampire, a ghoul, a werewolf, and… whatever I am.

I followed after Aldus to the backroom, and he pressed one brick that revealed a hidden door. I didn't know about this.

We found ourselves in a room that was about four-by-four meters in size.

Fist-sized glowing rocks illuminated the room softly, and the room burst into bright light when Aldus flipped the switch, turning on lights that hung from the ceiling.

On the right was a table with several ampules that contained colorful liquids, but the main thing was a metallic cylinder in the middle of the room, big enough to fit a person.
