After five minutes had passed, Celestia clapped her hands. "Alright, let's do it now."
She gently guided Klein toward an empty room down the hall. The others followed at a distance, their footsteps soft against the beige carpet.
The room was simple with a bed with clean white sheets, a wooden desk pushed against one wall, and a single window with curtains drawn to provide privacy.
Klein stood in the center of the room, looking small and uncertain. His blue eyes darted between the adults, clearly nervous but trusting.
"You'll need to remove your clothes, sweetheart." Celestia said gently, her voice carrying reassurance. "Just down to your undergarments. The Elixir needs to touch your skin directly."
Klein nodded, his small hands moving to pull off his black shirt.
