"How did King Lao manipulate Dr. Monroe?" Anon asks.
Dr. Nelson lets out an annoyed sigh before speaking.
"Dr. Monroe is of noble birth. He's not directly related to the king, but his family is of high standing in Kervini. Dr. Monroe and King Lao attended the same private noble high school together, which is how they became friends. After becoming well-known in his field, Dr. Monroe was going to open his research facility, but King Lao bribed him to join his cause instead. I was curious how King Lao managed to get Dr. Monroe to give up his dream, so I asked him one day." Dr. Nelson tells the three of us.
I look over at Anon, whose eyes are fixed on his uncle. Anon has always looked up to his uncle. How does Anon feel about all of this? He is seeing part of his uncle's past—a part that Dr. Quin has never told anyone before. This can't be easy on either of them. I hope that Dr. Quin can find some form of catharsis from this meeting.
