Lana listened carefully, still surprised she was learning such details only now.
Just then, the staff doctor looked up. "Please sit down."
Lana obeyed, sitting on the examination chair while the doctor began applying medicine. The cool ointment stung slightly, carrying a bitter herbal scent.
As Lana's gaze wandered absentmindedly around the room, it suddenly fixed on something familiar.
A glowing gel.
Her eyes sharpened.
"That is the same substance the girl in the bathroom had…"
She immediately looked at the doctor. "Can you lend me that gel?"
The doctor paused, then smiled beneath her mask. Though her face was hidden, her eyes curved gently.
"Of course. I even have extra. You may take a sample if you wish."
Lana nodded quickly. When the container was placed into her hands, she felt its faint warmth and saw the strange luminescence swirling inside.
She wanted to open it immediately.
But remembering the doctor was still watching, she restrained herself.
