Her excitement upon hearing from Martin is evident, prompting her to rush out to meet him.

In her urgency, Yost instructs her unremarkable receptionist, Elvina Shaw, to set up a meeting with Lazar, but instead, Elvina contacts Dr. Emilio Lorca—another collector of strange specimens—who eagerly offers extra money for an exclusive “first look” at her latest acquisitions.
