Seneca watched in frustration as her efforts failed to save the frog's life. At least the animal hadn't bled out to death, as it was supposed to happen with the first poison. In any case, even if the organs had remained intact, the frog had still died.

It would have been a breakthrough for a seventeen-year-old to have discovered the antidote to that potion on the first try. In any case, Seneca had been disappointed. Her interest in discovering the antidote had minimized. She didn't want to find it for the good of humanity, but rather to receive glory. Her project would likely be abandoned until she rediscovered an interest to pick it up.
She cleaned up her working station, returned the jars with all the ingredients to their place, and then returned to her common room. She had so many other projects to work on!
