Why am I still staying at this dingy underground lab? Well... I've returned the items that I've stole, and I have already been pardoned by the presidents from both societies, but... I just can't make myself available again, yet. For a time being, I just want to spent my time quietly working on something new... kind of like concluding all those years spent madly working on new inventions to impress others.

What I do know is that I do not want to conduct new experiments just to be accepted by others... from here on out, I'm working on this just for myself, for my growth of knowledge. I think that's what I need, more than anything else... to do this for myself, not to impress others.

That being said, it's not an easy task. I am just beginning to realize how hard it is to conduct experiments all by myself. I don't know how I managed to just go ahead and conduct all those studies by myself before... Hmm... if it's alright with you, can you help me with one of them? Ah, don't worry about it. It's not going to be remotely as dangerous as the last one.

Thank you... I'll write up a list of things I'll need from you, so please come back in a bit.

Hmm... You must be busy with something right now. I understand...

I can't thank you enough for helping me with my experiments. You really helped me with this one. Really, I feel bad that you are the one that keeps helping me, and not vice versa.

If you need my help on anything, please drop by here. And if you... just wish to have a tea time with an old man, you can still come...
