Not long later, Jasper found him set up a room of his own with his animals. The room had been fairly roomy before Jasper had moved in, now it was comfortably crowded.

Jasper was just getting comfortable when there was a knock at the door and in came Rachel.
"Dr. Jekyll sent me in to check and see how you were getting on. Everything alright?"

"Yeah, it's great."

Rachel nodded at sat down on the bed beside Jasper.
"Well that's good. Sorry about basically kickin' you two out of Dr. Finch's room earlier. It's just that he doesn't sleep so well sometimes so I have to make him. Dr. Jekyll put me in charge of watching him and I take that job quite seriously."

Jasper nodded, halfheartedly listening. Of all the people he had met, Dr. Finch had been the strangest, in that he had been far less friendly and open that everyone else.
"Rachel, I know it's rude to ask, but whats wrong with Finch? He's much less friendly than everyone else, and you said Dr. Jekyll put you in charge of him. Why?"

Rachel gave a long sigh and fiddled with the edge of her apron.
"It's not really my place to say, but I suppose I could tell you the basics that everyone knows."
