As I strolled through my room, a sense of curiosity tugged at me, leading me to a small trapdoor that had mysteriously appeared in the middle of my cell.

I spotted something from afar, in a lone corner of my room. A small statue made of several metals; it looked very expensive. "Sorry for using your gift as a hammer, Dr. Hyne." I slammed the heavy statue down with all my strength, and it shattered with ease.310Please respect copyright.PENANAiWH1Uh3Xuu
"That was unexpected, Saira. Who designs such fragile locks? They must have a great sense of humor."310Please respect copyright.PENANA6t5ZkWswlz
