At the bottom of the short letter, there was a single sentence that read...
"You can now transform anyone using the machine behind the bookshelf"
You stare at the note in confusion for a moment. Machine behind the bookshelf? There wasn't anything behind the bookshelf except a wall. And what does it mean transform? You look back at the bookshelf and notice the book you placed back was still upside-down. You reach back in and pull it out to find a small button behind it this time. You could have sworn it wasn't there when you grabbed the paper. You carefully push the button and here a small click.
