I wonder why Simon doesn't notice it's him from his REALLY TALL HAIR.

So, this is gonna be a fun chapter, as I finally get into something I've been wanting to discuss for a while - the Institute.

In case you're wondering, it's the morning after we last saw our characters. This isn't to justify the costume change, though - Ace is wearing a light gray t-shirt because a white t-shirt doesn't show well at all against a white lab coat and white walls. It's bad enough the floor is the shade of everybody's damn pants. Except the nobody background characters.

By the way, I decided to have a little fun with Panel 2's guy, who I drew in after Panel 3's girl, so she's not as interesting. He, however, was apparently left behind by some peers.

By the by, did you notice Ace has changed into yet ANOTHER amulet? Yeah, he does that a lot. I'm tempted to think he has one for every day of the week. But then I think… no, it's mostly occasion. Surely if he fought vampires, he'd wear a crucifix.

Just to be a smartass. Because let's face it, not all vampires are Christian.
