The following morning I was once again indulging in packets of blood, Ginevra watching me closely, ensuring that I drank every drop of the provided sustenance.
“Why do you only feed once in a while?” I asked, I've been the only one draining bags of blood day and night.
“At some point, you can control yourself, feeding only when you need to,” he replied.
Before I could further delve into his explanation, a knock echoed through the room.
“It’s open,” Ginevra responded, and the door swung open.
In walked Neha, trailed closely by Mixo.
“Good morning,” they greeted in unison. I acknowledged them with a subtle nod, watching intently as I waited for them to state their business.
“So, what brings you here today?” Ginevra broke the silence.
Neha cast a fleeting glance at Mixo, who, in turn, directed a sheepish look my way.
“I... I want to show Blake something. I have to show him,” Mixo said nervously.
“Oh, what was it?” Anything involving these two was never good.
