[Just voice this time. He thinks he's probably shown his face more than enough of late.]

For those interested in knowing, the Casino headquarters of the Hearts gang is now entirely abandoned. Anything that remains inside is for the taking of anyone who has a mind to stroll in through the front door.

[Baizhu is in his shop, the usual cabinets full of small, carefully labelled drawers set out behind him.]

If anyone happened to miss it, I would advise listening to Helene's announcement a couple of weeks ago in which she stated that the Research Centre is now ready to begin offering a cure for vampirism.

[He is not here to cast doubt upon her words or claims or to support it overtly, either. Baizhu has put his own work into this cure along with many others, but it isn't something he feels the need to speak out about.

The doctor has other concerns.]

Side effects of the treatment have been made public, and I find it within my interests to offer what aid I can to allieviate the potential discomfort of the process. [A small smile.] I will be keeping my pharmacy in Sunwaning open for two hours after nightfall to allow for anyone who might wish to call in. If you have other concerns, appointments to request, or need to pick up a prescription, please utilise the normal opening times.
