Alex was in the basement of the Hellsing manor, and he had no idea how much time had passed since he arrived here. It could have been an hour — or far more. But Alex truly didn't know exactly how long it had been since he descended into this place.
From the moment he entered the basement, events had unfolded at breakneck speed: starting with a simple conversation that quickly escalated into a shootout between him and Alucard, eventually turning into an all-out slaughter where they tried to kill each other. Alex calmly accepted the fact that Alucard was a woman — it didn't bother him in the slightest. He didn't deny that he found Alucard an attractive woman, and he certainly didn't deny that she was a very strange woman.
From the moment they started fighting, Alucard tried to kill him, kiss him, grab him, and touch him in places Alex didn't want women he barely knew to touch. Alex had lost count of how many times he had already killed Alucard — and each time she rose again, even more insane than before. The hardest part of this battle for Alex was that he had to hold back during the fight — and that was exactly what Alucard took advantage of when she attacked him.
After Alex had killed Alucard more than ten times, she decided to release her restrictions to Level One to fight him for real. Seeing Alucard's new form, Alex thought she would finally take on a male appearance. But Alucard remained a woman — now dressed in a black straitjacket. Once the seal was released, Alucard's shadows spread throughout the entire basement, and hundreds of red eyes stared at Alex while a manic smile bared her sharp teeth on her face.
Alex looked at Alucard's monstrous form and narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing how dramatically her power had increased after the restrictions were lifted.
"Why did you stop? Are you scared of my form?" Alucard said, still grinning widely.
"No, I just noticed how much stronger you've become. But what surprises me more is that your clothes changed after releasing the restrictions. Isn't it a bit tight around the chest?" Alex said, storing Ebony and Ivory in his inventory.
"Pahahahaha! That's the only thing you care about? How interesting. I knew right away you were very intriguing. So let's keep killing each other — the night is still young. Come on! Come on! The fun has only just begun!" Alucard laughed loudly, genuinely amused by Alex's reaction.
"I hate to disappoint you, but it's the middle of the day. And who am I to refuse a beautiful woman's request? Just please stop trying to grope me — it's weird. I'm still not used to the fact that you're a woman," Alex said, lighting a cigarette without taking his eyes off Alucard.
Hearing Alex's words, Alucard froze for a moment, then burst into another fit of loud, manic laughter, doubling over and clutching her stomach. Her laughter was so infectious and deranged that the shadows behind her trembled and her form distorted. Alex's words genuinely amused Alucard — she hadn't expected someone to stand before her, see her true form, and still talk to her like this while treating her as a woman in such a situation.
Alucard simply didn't know that Alex had encountered beings far more horrifying than her current appearance. Alex had killed creatures whose mere sight drove people insane. To Alex, Alucard's form was somewhat similar to how he himself looked when he revealed his true face.
Alucard stopped laughing and looked at Alex — her red eyes flared even brighter and grew even more insane as she stared at him. From the moment she caught his intoxicating scent — one she had never smelled before — so intoxicating it was like a drug to her. And from the moment she watched him sleep, Alucard understood: she wanted all of him. And now he had come to her himself — and she would have him.
Alucard stared at Alex with an intensely possessive gaze. Alex, seeing that look, almost groaned inwardly — he had seen this kind of possessive stare before.
"Not groping… Do you really think I'm groping you? I'm not groping. I take. I devour. I possess. Those words of yours only make me… want you even more," Alucard said, staring at Alex with an almost obsessive look.
"Fine, we'll play by your rules. You're not the first woman who wanted to lock me in a basement. So, my dear Draculina, let's keep killing each other until we get bored. Until one of us gets tired of pretending this is just a fight," Alex said, extending his hand to the side as the massive, rusted Pyramid Head sword emerged from his shadow.
"You do understand. This was never just a fight… It was a date. Cut me. Pierce me. Try to break me. Because the more pain you inflict on me… the gentler I'll be with you afterward," Alucard said, looking at Alex like prey.
"As you wish. But know that I haven't lost once since I began my path," Alex said, resting the massive rusted sword on his shoulder.
"Then let's begin. But know this: when I win… you won't die. You'll simply become mine. Forever," Alucard said, slightly hunching forward and pointing at Alex with a wide grin.
After those words, Alucard's body began to disintegrate into pieces, and her blood transformed into monstrous hounds that immediately lunged at Alex with distorted roars. The hounds attacked from both sides. Alex crouched slightly, gripping the long rusted Pyramid Head sword in his hand. Glancing quickly around, Alex struck the first hound, piercing it straight through, while grabbing the second by the throat as it tried to sink its teeth into his neck.
With one motion, Alex sliced the impaled hound in two, then crushed the second one's head with his hand. In the same instant, the hounds' bodies turned into swarms of disgusting centipedes that began crawling at his feet. At that moment, Alex heard the click of a pistol slide behind him and jerked his head aside, dodging the shot. Turning, he saw a hand protruding from the shadows — Alucard's hand holding a white pistol aimed directly at him.
Alex instantly appeared beside the hand and kicked the pistol upward. Another shot rang out, and in the same moment Alex struck forward, piercing both the hand and Alucard's shadow.
"You got distracted, my dear. Or are you only capable of killing my dogs?" Alucard's voice came from behind Alex.
Alucard appeared behind him, wrapping her arms around his neck and running her fingers from his neck to his cheek. She took Alex by the chin and turned his head toward her so he would look into her eyes. Alucard began caressing Alex's cheek, running her thumb across his lips while continuing to stare into his eyes. A wide smile spread across her face as she stroked his cheek, once again thinking about kissing him.
"I wasn't distracted — you were. I told you… I've never lost, and I'm ready for anything," Alex's voice came from behind Alucard.
Hearing Alex's voice behind her, Alucard saw that the face she was holding by the chin wore a wide smile. In that instant she felt the sword pierce straight through her body. Without losing her manic smile, Alucard turned her head and saw Alex gripping the massive rusted sword with both hands, looking at her with a light smile.
Alex didn't stop there — he made a quick gesture with his hands and grinned widely. In the next moment, Alex's clone exploded. The powerful blast shook the basement, and dust and stone fragments rained from the ceiling. Burning pieces of Alucard's body scattered in all directions.
But Alex knew this wasn't the end. And he was right: in the same instant the shadow distorted, and from it emerged the massive Baskerville hound with a twisted, toothy maw and eyes covering its entire body. The Baskerville hound lunged at Alex, jaws wide open. Alex raised the large rusted sword in front of him to block the hound's attack.
When the hound crashed into Alex, his feet began sliding across the basement floor. The hound dragged Alex forward until he slammed into the basement wall — causing the entire place to shake again. Feeling the wall against his back, Alex braced one hand against the hound's snout while holding the blade with the other, preventing the jaws from closing.
At that moment, a hand emerged from the hound's maw — Alucard's hand gripping a black pistol, its barrel pointed straight at Alex's face. Realizing his hands were occupied, Alex opened his mouth and sank his teeth into Alucard's arm. Alex clamped down hard and jerked his head sharply, tearing the arm off. His face became covered in blood after ripping Alucard's arm off with his teeth, still keeping the hound's jaws from closing.
"Yes! That's how monsters should fight! Use everything you have — teeth, claws, bones. Anything you can to kill your enemy. Don't stop there. Prove to me I was right, prove that my desire to possess you wasn't a mistake," Alucard's manic laughter echoed from all directions.
Hearing Alucard's words, Alex almost groaned again in frustration at how events were unfolding. Alex kicked the lower part of the massive rusted sword's blade — and the sword rose upward from momentum, slicing the Baskerville hound in two. When Alex cut the hound in half, instead of dying, there were now two of them.
Seeing this, Alex hurled the rusted sword toward where he sensed Alucard, and in the same moment stopped the two Baskerville hounds with both hands. Alex's eyes narrowed for a second, and he squeezed his hands — both hounds were torn into countless small pieces.
And in that same instant, his massive rusted sword flew back toward him. Alex stepped aside slightly and caught the flying sword. At that exact second, Alex felt a very cold and wet sensation on his neck. Appearing behind him, Alucard wrapped her arms around him from behind, running her fingers across his chest, and licking his neck with the tip of her tongue. Feeling that sensation, Alex experienced mixed emotions — he was still adjusting to the fact that Alucard was a woman, and now she was licking his neck while her hands slid downward from his chest.
And to stop yet another attempt by Alucard to grope him, Alex grabbed her arm and flipped her over his shoulder with a light motion. Just before Alex threw her, she clung to his arm in a death grip. Alucard landed gracefully on the ground, still holding both of Alex's arms tightly and refusing to let go, looking at him with a wide grin.
In response, Alex only grinned wider and twisted Alucard's arms with such force that the bones in her arms snapped all the way to the forearms. The sound of breaking bones echoed through the basement, and the broken bones protruded through the flesh. Alucard paid no attention to her shattered arms and continued holding Alex while blood from her wounds dripped at their feet.
Alex's eyes narrowed, and in that moment he smiled and leaped upward. Alex kicked Alucard in the chest with both feet — and she flew backward to the far end of the basement, slamming into the wall back-first. Alucard's arms remained in Alex's grip — and they immediately turned into writhing centipedes that fell to the floor and merged with the shadows.
"Where is my life going? I just wanted to drink and make friends. Not fend off yet another woman who wants to lock me in a basement," Alex said, looking in the direction Alucard had flown.
"Come on, keep going. Why did you stop? Why are you hesitating? Why aren't you continuing to kill me? Or do you think I'll let you go?" Alucard's voice echoed from all sides again as she emerged from the hole in the wall.
"I just wanted to chat. Fine. You asked for it. I've had enough. You broke my expensive whiskey. You've tried to kiss me several times already, you even licked me and groped me. And by the way, I'm a decent guy and prefer going on a date first and having coffee. Or killing someone — depending on personal preferences," Alex said, pulling black knuckle-dusters from his pocket and slipping them onto his hands.
"A date? We're already on a date where the winner takes everything in the end. Including the loser's life," Alucard said, chuckling lightly and looking at Alex like prey.
"Ugh… after this I'm going to need coffee just to deal with the headache. Fine, Alucard. One more round — no more games. No more monsters, just pure violence," Alex said, cracking his neck lightly and looking at Alucard coldly.
"Yes! That's the look I wanted to see on your face. A look with no mercy for enemies. As if everyone in front of you is just an obstacle to your goal. Come on, show me the real you. Show me the darkness that lives inside you. I've seen it deep in your eyes. Stop holding it back and show it to me!" Alucard shouted loudly, grinning widely and baring her sharp teeth.
In that instant, Alex's face was covered in thick darkness, from which only his multicolored eyes and sharp teeth were visible. Seeing Alex's true face, Alucard began laughing with genuine delight. This was exactly what she had expected to see when she first looked into Alex's eyes. And seeing his real face, she felt an indescribable thrill unlike anything in centuries of her existence.
Alex was the one who could dispel the boredom in her dull and monotonous life. Stopping her laughter, Alucard still grinned predatorily, staring unblinkingly at Alex with her blood-red eyes. Alex took a step and appeared right beside Alucard.
He swung his fist and delivered the first blow. Alucard responded in kind with a counterstrike. Their fists collided, sending a powerful shockwave in all directions. From that single impact, Alucard's arm instantly turned to bloody mist, but she kept smiling. In the blink of an eye, her arm regenerated — and now she attacked first.
Alex and Alucard began exchanging blows. They didn't dodge or avoid strikes — they simply hit each other until one of them gave in. What Alucard didn't know was just how strong Alex truly was, but at that moment she didn't care — she kept attacking blow after blow. With every strike from Alex, Alucard's body tore apart and instantly healed. Alucard's blows continued to land all over Alex's body, including his face, but dealt him no damage. Each of their strikes created shockwaves that further destroyed the basement.
Alex's family, watching him through a live feed via Navi the fairy-drone, couldn't fully comprehend how their husband had once again gotten involved with yet another insane woman. Some of the girls couldn't tell whether Alucard was trying to kill their husband or fuck him. But the fact remained — they were watching their husband fight a deranged female vampire while simultaneously demolishing the basement of the manor where he was a guest.
But all the girls reached a collective decision: since he got himself into this, he could get himself out. Whether Alex killed Alucard or slept with this insane female vampire — they clearly weren't going to interfere.
And while Alex and Alucard continued their attempts to prove who was stronger and who stood above whom, there was one who was still adjusting to the fact that she was a vampire. Seras Victoria, now a Draculina, was forced to sleep in a coffin — something she still couldn't get used to. And just as she thought she was finally falling asleep, she heard a crash that instantly woke her.
Thinking it was her imagination, Seras closed her eyes again. But the crash repeated. And gradually the noise grew louder and louder until she began hearing small pebbles falling onto her coffin lid. Deciding to find out what was happening, Seras climbed out of her coffin and heard the crashing coming from another part of the basement.
Seras immediately thought they were under attack again and, grabbing her 30-millimeter rifle, rushed toward the noise. And when she saw what was causing it, she froze in place. Seras saw Alex and Alucard exchanging blows — and they were doing it quite brutally, not blocking a single strike. Seras saw blood flying everywhere. Seras saw the expressions on Alex's and Alucard's faces as they hit each other and couldn't understand why they were fighting or what had caused it.
But one thing she knew for sure — she had to stop them. Yet Seras understood that she wasn't capable of stopping Alex and Alucard.
"God, what's happening here? What should I do?" Seras asked herself, genuinely not knowing what to do.
In that moment a solution appeared in Seras's mind, and without wasting a second, she rushed toward the basement exit to find the one person who could definitely stop Alex and Alucard. Seras ran up the stairs to find Walter and Integra, who would surely be able to end the battle between Alex and Alucard.
Bursting out of the basement, Seras saw Integra and Walter walking quickly toward her. Seras saw the strong irritation and worry on Integra's face about what was currently happening. After all, the crashing from Alex and Alucard's fight wasn't limited to the basement — it echoed throughout the entire manor.
"Lady Integra… Down there. They're fighting," Seras said in a panicked tone.
"I already figured that out. Damn it, why can't even one day be quiet?" Integra said grimly.
"Lady Seras, do you perhaps know what caused this fight between Mr. Alexander and Lady Alucard?" Walter asked, trying to understand the reason for what was happening.
"I don't know. I just saw them fighting and laughing," Seras said, shaking her head.
"He wanted to make friends, sure. He was just going to chat with Alucard," Integra said through gritted teeth, heading toward the basement.
Integra didn't wait for Walter and Seras — she went straight to the basement, frowning even more deeply as the sounds of impacts grew louder. Seras and Walter hurried after her — and Walter even put on his black gloves just in case he needed to use force to stop Alex and Alucard.
Descending into the basement, Integra, Walter, and Seras saw Alex and Alucard covered in blood, clearly showing no intention of stopping as they continued exchanging blows. Walter raised an eyebrow slightly, watching the fight and already thinking about how to stop Alex and Alucard before the manor was completely destroyed.
"You two, stop this immediately! Or are you planning to demolish the Hellsing manor with your fight?!" Integra shouted in an angry, commanding tone.
But due to the sound of the impacts, Integra's voice didn't reach Alex and Alucard — and they kept hitting each other. Integra's eyelid twitched in irritation, and despite how dangerous it was to approach something like this, she calmly walked forward.
"Lady Integra, it's dangerous!" Seras shouted, noticing Integra heading toward the fight.
Integra ignored Seras's shout and kept walking. And when she was almost close enough, Alex and Alucard froze — their fists were millimeters from each other's faces when they noticed Integra appear.
When Integra saw that Alex and Alucard had stopped, her entire stern demeanor made it clear she wanted to know what the hell they had done here. Alucard's gloves glowed faintly red, and she returned to her original appearance. Alex quickly hid his knuckle-dusters in his pocket and looked at Integra with a slight smile.
But at that moment Integra wasn't smiling — she was glaring at Alex and Alucard. In response to Integra's glare, Alucard chuckled lightly and ran her finger across Alex's cheek.
"We'll continue our dance later, my dear," Alucard said, removing her hand from Alex's face.
After those words, Alucard walked away as if nothing had happened, leaving behind an irritated Integra, a stunned Seras, and Walter. Alex opened his mouth, watching Alucard leave, and as soon as she passed through the wall, he realized he had been left to deal with the consequences alone.
Alex looked at Integra — whose gaze was ready to incinerate him. Alex surveyed the destruction in the basement and understood that this wasn't going to end with a peaceful conversation. Alex cleared his throat dryly and tried to smile, showing that everything that had happened here was just a series of certain events.
"Lady Integra…" Alex said, trying to smile.
"Follow me. Now!" Integra said grimly and turned to leave.
Alex could only sigh and nod, following Integra. He understood that this was partly his fault — and as the guilty party, he had to take responsibility for what he had done. Alex followed the angry Integra, passing Walter — who gave a slight smile — and Seras — who wore only confusion and surprise on her face.
Alex smiled lightly and patted Seras on the head, continuing to follow Integra.
The entire way to her office, Integra didn't say a word while Alex trailed behind her. Fortunately, Alex knew how to deal with angry women — he already had plenty of experience from all his past actions. After all, this wasn't the first time he had done something like this — even if on a smaller scale.
Integra entered her office and sat behind her desk, crossing her arms under her chin and staring at Alex until he sat in front of her. What Integra had seen in the basement only confirmed her thoughts about Alex's strength. And everything she had learned about Alex today only showed that he was not only very intelligent but equally powerful.
Alex possessed all the qualities Integra valued. And even now, while she frowned and showed anger, he kept looking her straight in the eyes the entire time, never once looking away — and without showing disrespect; on the contrary, his entire demeanor showed that he was guilty and ready to face the consequences of his actions — something else Integra valued in people.
Alex perfectly understood what kind of woman Integra was, and that he should keep looking her in the eyes while accepting all her anger. And while Alex and Integra continued staring into each other's eyes, the door to Integra's office cracked open slightly — and Seras peeked inside. But seeing Integra's stern glare, she immediately closed the door from the other side.
"I'm listening to your explanation," Integra said, staring intently at Alex.
"If I put it in two words — it was weird," Alex said calmly.
"I'm asking you what the hell you two did in the basement of my house. And I don't want your excuses. You told me this morning that from now on you're under my personal command. Now answer my question!" Integra said, raising her voice at Alex.
"Fine… It all started when I met Alucard. We exchanged a few words, and then she pointed her gun at me. We started shooting at each other. And along the way she started groping me," Alex said calmly, bringing the cigarette to his lips.
"Groping you?" Integra repeated, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Yes, groping. She tried to kiss me, touched me where she shouldn't. Why didn't you tell me he was a she?" Alex said, staring at Integra.
"Continue. I'm listening," Integra said, ignoring Alex's question.
"Ugh… Fine. Anyway, she took on another form, and we started fighting more seriously. And maybe I got a little carried away. And let me just say — she's not the first woman who tried to lock me in a basement," Alex said, exhaling cigarette smoke.
Integra placed her hand on her forehead, listening to Alex's account of what happened in the basement and how the conversation between Alex and Alucard went. Listening to this, Integra felt a strong headache. After all, she hadn't expected Alucard to react so strongly to Alex that she would want to possess him completely.
It wasn't hard for Integra to understand Alucard's unique behavior — after all, she had known this woman for several decades. And Integra realized that Alucard had seen something in Alex that she hadn't yet noticed, beyond his strength and intelligence. Integra began looking at Alex more intently — as if trying to see in him what she hadn't yet noticed, observing him from the moment he appeared in her office that morning, to their trip to the tea house, and back to the manor.
Alex finished recounting what had happened and waited for Integra to speak. And looking at Integra's grim face, Alex smiled slightly. But the smile on Alex's face had the opposite effect on Integra. Her eyelid twitched, and she slammed her hand on the desk and began scolding Alex for everything he had already managed to do.
Alex calmly listened to Integra's angry tirade and accepted it all, fully aware of his mistakes and actions.
"Integra, I fully understand what I did. And I'm not going to avoid responsibility for my reckless actions. I will pay for all the damage that was caused because of me. If that works for you," Alex said calmly, looking into Integra's eyes.
"That's the least you can do in this situation. Or did you think you could destroy the basement of my house and walk away scot-free?" Integra said, still angry.
"Of course not. That's why I'm saying I'll cover all the damage. And I'll give you a discount," Alex said calmly.
"A discount? You bastard, you're going to repair my basement that you destroyed — with my own money? And your next words will decide whether I shoot you in the head or not," Integra said, gritting her teeth in irritation and aiming her pistol at Alex.
"I probably phrased that wrong. Allow me to rephrase, Integra. I will fully cover all the damage from my own pocket. And the discount — is for ordering special goods from my personal organization," Alex said, calmly standing up and placing his hand on the pistol Integra was holding.
"I'm listening carefully. What kind of discount, and what goods can your organization provide?" Integra said, staring intently into Alex's eyes.
"Anything — from everyday items to weapons and equipment. And the discount… let's say 60%," Alex said, showing six fingers.
"90%, no less. And a free helicopter," Integra said, narrowing her eyes slightly with a smile.
"75%, plus tea leaves of very good tea. And no helicopter. Even if I like the way you glare at me with those eyes," Alex said, smiling slightly.
"80% and a helicopter. And tea as moral compensation for destroying my basement and keeping me from sleeping properly," Integra said, narrowing her eyes at Alex's comment.
Alex and Integra continued staring at each other — and Alex in this situation had no intention of backing down, even if he was starting to like Integra. Alex smiled slightly and already raised five fingers, showing he was about to offer an even lower discount than before.
Integra narrowed her eyes slightly and grabbed Alex's palm, squeezing his fingers — even knowing she couldn't break them. With her other hand, Integra wrote the number 80 on a piece of paper, showing she expected that discount. Alex narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling Integra trying to crush his fingers with her grip.
In the end, a full-on negotiation began between Alex and Integra over the discount on weapons and equipment. Walter, standing outside the door, overheard the argument and was slightly surprised at how naturally Alex had shifted Integra's attention to another topic — and how effortlessly he had done it.
Alex continued arguing with Integra not because he was greedy or unwilling to give a discount — he simply enjoyed arguing. After all, he could create anything with magic and had long stopped caring about money. He just found it interesting to watch Integra negotiate aggressively with him.
The argument between Alex and Integra lasted a full half hour — neither willing to yield to the other. In the end, Alex and Integra fell silent, staring at each other, then both burst out laughing. During this negotiation, Integra saw yet another side of Alex.
From his sudden appearance yesterday until this evening, Integra had already seen several sides of Alex. Integra herself didn't notice how much her interest in Alex had grown after just a few conversations with him.
"Fine, we'll settle on 75% — and that's it. I'm already making a huge concession," Alex said, still chuckling and looking at Integra.
"I said 80% — not a percent less. And hand over that damn helicopter. And don't forget the tea. You already owe me. You've been in Hellsing for barely a day and you've already caused chaos," Integra said, leaning back in her chair and holding a thin cigar between her fingers.
"No helicopter. At most — an armored transport for your safety," Alex said, stroking his chin.
"Deal. When can I expect my transport?" Integra said, smiling slyly.
"You're good, Integra. You managed to haggle an armored transport out of me," Alex said with an amused smile, propping his cheek on his fist.
"You think you're the first person to bargain with me? Those old men from the Round Table are always looking for ways to squeeze a few needed items out of me," Integra said, exhaling smoke toward Alex.
"Of course, of course. You're used to dealing with stingy old men. I'm just hoping you won't be like Jesse and make me work more than I'm supposed to," Alex said, waving his hand to dispel the cigar smoke.
"You mean being forced to work in three departments?" Integra asked, raising an eyebrow slightly.
"Something like that. And yes — here's your tea. It's very good at calming the nerves. Exactly what you need right now," Alex said, placing a jar of tea leaves on the desk.
Hearing Alex's words, Integra gave him a blank stare and immediately grabbed the first thing within reach and threw it at him. Alex calmly caught the thrown object, still smiling.
Integra rolled her eyes slightly and took the jar of tea leaves to smell them. As a true Englishwoman, Integra also loved drinking tea. When she opened the jar, a pleasant aroma of tea leaves hit her nose. Integra couldn't believe there was tea that smelled so good.
Taking another deep breath, Integra called for Walter — knowing he was standing outside the door. Hearing Integra's call, Walter entered the office and looked at her. Integra pointed to the jar of tea leaves and asked him to brew some tea.
Walter raised an eyebrow, stepped closer — and the pleasant aroma hit his nose too. Walter took the jar of tea leaves and went to brew the tea.
Alex remained seated in Integra's office — and while Walter brewed the tea, he decided to show Integra the price list of goods she could order. Alex grabbed a chair, sat next to Integra, and began showing her everything.
To be continued...
(So, so, so that's what happened. And nothing can be done about it. Well, even Alex didn't expect something like this to happen to him. Well, I think we'll move forward gradually, as usual, occasionally skipping over various unnecessary events that will remain behind the scenes. Well, Alex has already interacted with two of the three women, and there's still one cute vampire girl left. But that's still ahead of us. Next up are a couple of little things that will happen gradually. In the meantime, I'm going to get some ice cream, even though it's winter outside. Bye-bye, have a good day.)
