"Uh, hello, hmm..."

Dr Grain looked at person with serious blue eyes, raising an eyebrow in confusion. To match his tall, skinny and sickly, gloomy pale appearance, his sire was... Gravedigger. His lips turned up slightly at the sight of a new visitor, as he was a bit bored and even lonely in his office. Although he never wanted to admit his own loneliness... But his attitude towards the person was still suspicious, so he decided to proceed with caution, Edward moved the chair he was sitting on a little further away from the table and tried to smile, trying to hide his growing anxiety, but it’s clear that he doesn’t know how to smile properly There were many thoughts in his head and many of them were disturbing to him. His thin fingers, like sticks, carefully combed the curly white hair that highlighted the thinness of his sickly pale face. Blue eyes, slightly sparkling from the light of the lamp, tried to analyze the person in front of him. Thin eyebrows frowned slightly, but the expression on his face remained neutral. Finally he adjusted the frame of his glasses. His voice trembled slightly, but tried to keep his tone even

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

A thought flashed through Edward's head «Yes, it’s better to ask like this, maybe it will help me determine why they are bothering me?». Another voice sounded in the man’s thoughts «This is a brilliant idea! Especially for an stupid and useless idiot like you, Grain». The scientist crossed his arms and waited for an answer from his guest, looking quite friendly, but was it sincere? No.... He wants to lock himself up again as soon as possible and have no contact with anyone. He didn't like to calculate every step, expecting meanness or a stab in the back.
