Chapter 115:

Dominant Hand

At midday, Aiden returned to the Rose Jail and headed straight to the infirmary.

The dialog with Harold this morning continued to echo in his thoughts.

“Logically talking, simply experiencing amnesia should not result in such a change,” Harold had remarked.

“You initially despatched me to go to Rebecca due to this, proper?” Aiden confirmed with him.

Aiden additionally agreed with Harold’s evaluation. Rebecca hadn’t utterly misplaced her reminiscence; the unconscious of her dominant hand ought to nonetheless be intact… No, logically, even when that unconscious have been erased, it would not make sense for it to be straight changed by one other hand.

The physique’s reminiscence ought to align with the impressions within the unconscious.

When he visited Rebecca yesterday, Aiden had sensed an excessive lack of coordination in her actions. Even pouring a cup of espresso and including sugar appeared like a fumble.

He Initially attributing it to nerves from their latest assembly, however Aiden realized the basis reason behind that lack of coordination when he noticed Rebecca holding the gun… was her dominant hand.

Rebecca was a uncommon left-hander, but the hand instinctively reaching for the gun was her unaccustomed proper hand.

Harold had evidently observed this element way back and the sudden act of her wielding the gun was clearly meant for Aiden’s to see.

“As a result of she insisted on transferring to your unit, and because you occurred to go to me that day, I assumed it finest so that you can personally observe as nicely,” Harold acknowledged.

“Do you have got suspicions about her?” Aiden inquired.

“Sure, the affect of Priscilla on her clearly goes past mere amnesia. The highest witches and darkish magicians generally exceed our understanding with their techniquesthat’s been my expertise. Although there is not concrete proof pointing to what occurred, it is all the time sensible to remain vigilant,” Harold admitted candidly. “I’ve had her resting and in addition stationed somebody to control her.”

“You are monitoring her?” Aiden paused.

“Is there an issue with that?” Harold countered.

“No,” Aiden shook his head, “it is certainly mandatory.”

It appeared that Harold had been retaining tabs on Rebecca all alongside, so when Rebecca all of the sudden appeared on the Rose Jail yesterday, he was nicely conscious of it.

Whereas noticing one thing amiss with Rebecca, Aiden at the moment had no plans to take any motion relating to her.

“I am… significantly better now,” Priscilla sat up in mattress. “Thanks…”

With lowered eyes and a smooth voice, she appeared fairly reserveda stark distinction to the infamous S-rank witch she was earlier than dropping her reminiscence.

“You have not eaten all day. Have your meal now,” Veronica provided the bowl. “Want any assist?”

“Properly…” Priscilla hesitated.

“If she will be able to eat on her personal, let her,” Aiden interjected all of the sudden. “We’re not the inmates’ caretakers.”

As Veronica approached with the bowl, Aiden felt a probing thought emerge.

“I am primarily fearful she may spill and burn herself,” Veronica defined.

“It is superb, let her strive,” Aiden insisted.

“Alright.”

Veronica handed the bowl of porridge to Priscilla. Awkwardly, Priscilla took the bowl and clumsily scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blowing on it earlier than placing it in her mouth.

“Hey, it is spilling!” Veronica ruefully identified.

“Oh!” Priscilla observed the porridge had dripped onto her garments.

Veronica fetched a towel and handed it to her. “Fast, wipe it off.”

“Sorry…” Priscilla set down the spoon, took the towel, and cleaned the stain earlier than resuming with the spoon.

After Observing for some time, Aiden all of the sudden requested, “Priscilla, are you left-handed?”

“Huh?” Priscilla paused, realizing she was certainly utilizing her left hand to carry the spoon. “Oops, I did it once more…”

She then switched the spoon to her proper hand and continued consuming the porridge, the motion now a lot smoother.

As suspected… Aiden confirmed his doubts.

The battle of dominant palms wasn’t simply with Rebecca; it was additionally evident in Priscilla.
