In a dark and somewhat gloomy sense, Huey had anticipated this night. The preparations he had been able to make were hardly what he required for such a procedure, even less what he would have preferred to have, but they were better than nothing, and no lack of supplies, no common sense or moral bounds could hold him back from taking this step. The man - Axel, he remembered after a glance at his notes, wondering why he needed this much to remember a simple name - had claimed to be a peculiar sort of creature, something capable of living without a heart, something... what exactly? An experiment, and maybe - apparently - more than that.
He did not like that heart the staff here had put inside him, it seemed. And it would be simple to take it out for him - far less a waste than letting the staff do it and do nothing with whatever there was to find out from how his body reacted to the removal, as well. It would be less simple to ensure his health or even his life, given the circumstances and the poor equipment Huey had been able to collect, most of it thanks to that fascinating Doctor Orochimaru and that nurse, Jack Kelly. But long as Axel insisted and Huey's curiosity prevailed, there was nothing going to stop his hand even for an instant.
Carelessly, he had laid out the tools and supplies before him after Lenalee had left. He had to prepare, to choose a somewhat clean spot on the floor, cleaning it as much as he could, using the disinfectant Kelly had provided him with both on the knives and on the ground. Two towels from the showers had been as much as he had been able to gain and to hide in his room for so long without causing suspicion, and by now, they were clean and ready for use.
He had gone over the steps several times, had remembered as much as he could about the fine details of human cardiac anatomy and functions, and this was as much as he could do. He could not let an opportunity like this pass, however, without being involved. When would he ever have the chance to observe a creature like this again?
Standing near the window and looking out at the dark sky of a late summer night central European night, Huey waited.
