LORRY SPRINGSTONE'S / KELLY THOMPSON'S POV
When the majordomo Tina escorts me to the obviously renovated guest room of the palace, Jason's words kept echoing in my mind, their true meaning unclear.
I settle into the lavish shelter, my mind races with conflicting emotions. The opulent surroundings are really a stark contrast to the quite simple life I've led for the past six years, and I can't help but feel out of place. This turns out indeed to be a life so foreign to me now.
Anyway, that's not why I am here. So I leave my personal feelings aside and stop the contemplation of the luxuries of my room. I unpack right away my medical equipment and set up a makeshift lab on the ornate writing desk. Then I begin the medical analysis of my patient's samples although it's already quite late.
