Several days later.
Under the sunny day, the weather was clear, and the sunshine was bright with not a cloud in the endless blue sky.
Richard, at the main laboratory's table in the experimental center, was flipping through the Wizard Book, "Monroe Chapter." After skimming for a while, he frowned and walked to one side.
