Logan had quite the day. From bumping into his online mentor at the hospital to shopping sprees, it felt like a whirlwind. Stepping into the hospital room, he let out a sigh that seemed too mature for his age, a summary of his day's adventures. Matilda, resting in her bed, couldn't help but chuckle, "So, who did you rope into doing homework with you this time?"
Brightening up, Logan replied, "Adrian."
"Adrian, huh." Matilda's brows furrowed slightly, "Hope you didn't bother him too much."
"Not at all." Logan placed a shopping bag on the couch nearby, "He even took me out shopping for some clothes."
Matilda wasn't thrilled. She preferred to keep a distance from Adrian, but Logan and Adrian seemed to have formed a close bond...
Sensing his mother's concern, Logan reassured her, "Won't happen again." He really didn't want to reach out to Yvan... so Adrian was his next choice.
Their eyes met, and Matilda sensed something different about Logan. It was hard to pinpoint at first, but then it clicked when she looked into his eyes. There was a resemblance to Yvan in those moments.

The night was quiet, and R7CKY and Ventus huddled in a corner with laptops perched on their knees, furiously typing away. The screen was filled with lines of code as they focused intently. Suddenly, Ventus whispered, "Cracked it."
With a snap of his fingers, R7CKY's screen revealed a database, "Got it here too."
Effortlessly, Ventus pulled up the Thompson family's DNA information while R7CKY browsed through the list, "Copying this to send to you."
"Including their ancestry."
