At a research facility in Russia, Dr. Lyubimova gloated while Katyusha was horrified at the sight of the four bodies of four lion demi-human children lying in their blood in the room. Standing in the middle of the room was a tall death row inmate with massive muscles. He wore a tech collar around his neck. His hands were stained with blood.

"AHAHA! Nice job, Andrei! AHAHAHAHA!!!!"

Dr. Lyubimova praised Andrei as she laughed amusedly like the Russian mafia when the Soviet Union collapsed.

"Ok, guys, bring him back to his cell."

The operator in the operating room then pressed the door open button, the door then opened. About six guards burst into the room aiming to escort Andrei away. Right after that, two janitors entered the room with cleaning tools to clean up the dead bodies in the room.

"Ok, Katyusha, that's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."

Dr. Lyubimova just talked to Katyusha and packed her bags in preparation to leave. Her packing part was then quickly disrupted when she found Katyusha depressively sitting in a corner of the lab like an autistic kid.

Seeing her assistant like that, Dr. Lyubimova could only shake her head and facepalm.

"Haizz. Katyusha, if you feel you can't be with me on the Winter's Pride Project then you can either change jobs or quit. I'm not forcing you to do this immoral thing."

Having said that, Dr. Lyubimova packed her bag and left, leaving Katyusha in the lab.

"Those kids...about my daughter's age...and they also have families..."

Katyusha continued to cry and regret being a part of this damn experiment.

The morning sun shone through the window of a room in a house on a farm in Finland. The morning sun shone down on Jani, who was sleeping soundly in his cozy bed. Jani's sleeping expression then changed to an annoyed expression, probably because of the sunlight.

Suddenly, the door of Jani's room opened, and a petite figure entered the room. The figure quickly approached Jani's bed and noticed his annoyed expression. That figure quickly realized the problem and immediately ran to the window and closed the curtains. Jani's expression immediately softened as well.

"Thank you, Suvi."

Jani thanked the person with his eyes closed.

"Suvi?"

Botan wondered who Suvi was as she turned to look at Jani. Suddenly, Jani quickly grabbed Botan's hand and pulled her into the blanket with him.

"Wh-What?!?!"

Botan was confused why Jani did that. Jani then hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"You did a great job, Suvi."

"HUHHHHHH?!?!?!?!"

Botan blushed and cried out in confusion and surprise. Hearing Botan's voice, Asko entered Jani's room.

"Botan! What are you doing?! I asked you to wake Jani up, not sleep with him!"

Asko reminded Botan of her mission. Hearing Asko's voice, Jani opened his eyes and looked at Asko.

"Asko, what's it...?"

Jani asked Asko in a sleepy tone.

"Breakfast. Hurry up and bring Botan with you when you are completely awake."
