Listening to the thunderous snores coming from Don Quixote's room downstairs, Li Wei locked his door and pulled the curtains shut.
He turned on his computer and played some music at a low volume.
Then, he stripped off all his clothes and walked, completely naked, into his bathroom.
Li Wei turned on the faucet for the never-before-used bathtub. He sat quietly in front of it, and once the tub was full, he slid in, letting the cold water envelop his body until only his head remained above the surface.
'Evolve.'
At his mental command, a surge of energy exploded within his body.
'It's so itchy.'
Li Wei heard a deep rumbling coming from inside his own body and simultaneously felt a profound itch deep within.
The sensation was hard to describe, like a soft quill gently brushing the back of his hand.
Then came the cold.
