Dr. Allen’s reaction
Dr. Allen entered the room with his glasses perched on the end of his nose and nodded briefly before focusing on the pot. Within seconds, his expression changed completely. “Oh dear,” he muttered, turning noticeably pale. He stepped back and lost his usual composure. “David, what have you brought with you?” There was astonishment in his voice, mixed with a disquieting urgency.

A moment of discomfort
The shock on Dr. Allen’s face awakened a wave of fear in me. The safety I had felt vanished as he examined the creature still in the ceramic pot. “Is there a problem?” I asked cautiously. He was silent for a few moments, staring at the strange animal. Finally, he turned to me and explained: “This could be more serious than it seems. We need to understand exactly what we’re dealing with.”
