"The sample we're about to inject needs some time to show its effects on your body, Le An. You can rest in the meantime."
One of the lab workers said this while searching for a vein in Le An's less damaged left arm.
Le An nodded and asked, "How long until the effects appear?"
"About half an hour," the researcher replied. "After that, we'll proceed with the main test."
The researcher then injected yet another of the countless solutions into Le An's body. At that moment, an esper—probably chosen for this test—passed in front of the glass wall with two lab staff. Their eyes met with Le An's.
The esper and the staff gave him a cautious nod before disappearing from sight. The researcher in front of him pulled down the sleeve of his lab coat and set the syringe aside.
Le An asked, "The last… test results. How were they?"
