I crawled under my blanket, turning myself to the wall. Truth be told, I didn’t want to sleep – I just didn’t want to talk. In Gromov’s laboratory they studied regeneration process, which occurred in turnskins many times faster than in humans. Various experiments were carried out – all of them were very useful for science as a whole: for example, artificial organs were transplanted into laboratory animals in order to study engraftment; bones were fractured while subjects were not allowed to turn into anima and stayed in homunculus form during the healing process, and when subjects finally turned into animals it was observed whether there stayed any visible signs of bone fusion or not, etc. All that research was very important for humanity…And then I remembered how the bear growled at me when I commanded him to ‘bite’. Well… to be honest it actually looked more like a reaction to me as a person, if you really think about it (after all, I saw him turn), and to the tone of my voice, rather than an understanding of that word’s meaning.My father often says, that humanity perceives the world not objectively, but in terms of its ideas and emotions. Hogwash, if you ask me, for it is not up to me whether it rains outside or the sun shines. At least, that’s what I thought. On the subject of this bear, I was ready to agree with such a train of thought. Maybe, I simply wanted to believe that he understands more, than everyone else think he can…
