True to what Heike had predicted, on the way to Charenton John had transformed back into Lucy. It had been startling, to be sure, and while it had left her clothes that hung off her frame and didn't fit, she at least was herself again. Plus, the transformation had happened faster and relatively painless this time.
Not wasting any time, she finished following the route and at last arrived at the asylum. She wasted no time in seeking out the doctor.

Crane was told that there was a visitor- a woman- asking for him. He sighed, putting down his work, and went down the stairs. Ordinarily he wouldn't have permitted any interruption, but if it was Sylvia...

"Dr. Crane?" She called uncertainly.
"I know s'not normal to just 'ave folks barge in, but...someone told me 'at you can 'elp me an' 'enry with our problem."
It came out in a rush, but she really wanted this mess to stop happening.

This was...unexpected. He was sure he didn't know this woman, whatever she was after.
"Excuse me? Henry?"

She could've smacked herself for not being more specific.
"Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll. It's..."
She glanced from side-to-side before lowering her voice.
"Problem, sir. With experiments."

Jekyll? Well, why not? If this world had Dracula, anything else would make sense.
"Could you be more specific, please?"
If it was the classic Hyde scenario, that would be most entertaing to watch.

"A biiig mess. First it was jus'...'enry turnin' into Mr. 'yde, an' then, um, I did a dumb thing an' drank some potion an' I turned into Lucille...and got turned into a vampire...an' then 'enry was 'arry for a while an' he tried to fix things with a new potion an' it got worse...'enry turned into a girl an' I was a guy..."
She was babbling, and the whole mess was jumbled in her head from it all happening so close together.
"...an' 'e was tryin' to cure my vampire problem."

"Really."
Crane considered the possibility that this woman might be insane.
"Is Dr. Jekyll with you?"

"I left 'im back at th' apartment. 'e said 'e was going to get a few things while I was out."
She was rather desperate, all told. She had no idea who else she could talk to for help.

"Well, I obviously can't give you advise without talking to your friend. But if I can meet with him and examine the potion, I will do my best."

She perked up at that.
"I could bring you there! It's not too far away."

"Well..."
If it was a chance to meet the actual Dr. Jekyll, he supposed his other work could wait.
