Guest was never meant to be an assistant. He was always the one judging and controlling from the center. The only person he ever respected was his mentor, Alistair Vance. He was kind, merciful, and one of the few who believed in Guest's talent despite his cynicism and bluntness.

One day, he spoke softly. "This time, I want you to learn something you don't understand."

The place he sent him was Harriet Floop's laboratory.

At first glance, she was the worst. The organization was a mess, experiments were impulsive, and even the records were kept haphazardly. Guest concluded instantly: Inefficient. Pathetic.

And yet, the results were always perfect. In ways that defied logic, she never missed the mark, not even once.

Guest still hates her. He still thinks she's pathetic.

But he doesn't leave. The reason is simple.

His mentor has never been wrong.
