"It would seem that my presence is beneficial to your survival skills and assists in enhancing offensive effectiveness. This is a valuable experiment. All data and observation have been recorded for analysis. I extend my gratitude to you for your co-operation," Alexis replied. "It would be desirable to replicate this result within the material world." While she spoke, Alexis seemed to be able to measure and sense Vincent's heartbeat. Something about being within him seemed to have entranced her. If Vincent was to turn back to his mirror and take a closer look at his torso, he would be able to see a hand-shaped, black patch on the left side of his chest where his heart was. It was as if Alexis was gingerly touching his heart.
