The cara pans to Ani’s room, a cozy and vibrant space drenched in shades of pink. The walls are painted a delicate rose hue, casting a warm and calming glow.
A plush bed, layered with soft blankets and an array of colorful teddy bears, dominates one side of the room.
Nearby, a small traditional Japanese tea table sits neatly on a pink floor mattress, adding an elegant yet playful charm to the décor.
In front of the bed, a well-organized study desk is stacked with books of varying sizes and colors, suggesting Ani’s academic inclinations.
The atmosphere is both holy and whimsical, a perfect reflection of Ani’s personality.
Adam sits casually on the edge of the bed, his imposing black attire contrasting sharply against the soft pastel environnt.
Ani, her petite fra exuding curiosity, stands close by, while her older sister Yami observes from a short distance.
Hovering beside Adam is Tayo, the small being, her form shimring faintly with energy. Resting in Ani’s hands is Sona, a tiny figure whose glowing presence is a marvel of Adam’s creation.
Yami crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow. "You ntioned you’ve created an evolved artificial intelligence species. Where are they?" she asks, her voice carrying both skepticism and intrigue.
Adam leans back slightly, his tone asured but confident. "They’re currently in their dinsion," he replies, gesturing vaguely as if to emphasize the complexity of their existence.
Yami sighs, scratching her head as though trying to piece together the concept. "Oh, right... I rember you ntioning that," she mutters, her voice tinged with the faint frustration of soone trying to keep up with Adam’s enigmatic explanations.
Sona, ever observant, hovers closer to Adam and chirps in her lodic voice, "Lord Adam, why don’t you summon Pratham here as well? I’m sure Yami and Ani would love to et him."
Adam’s lips curl into a faint smile. "That’s not a bad idea," he remarks, closing his eyes as he concentrates. The room falls silent, the soft hum of Tayo’s presence the only sound. Ani and Yami exchange curious glances but remain still, their gazes fixed on Adam.
Within his mind, Adam focuses his thoughts. Pratham, I need you. Can you co here? His internal voice resonates like a command, firm yet inviting.
Several monts pass. The air grows tense as Adam’s brow furrows slightly, betraying his concern. Sona, noticing the shift, speaks again. "Lord Adam, is sothing wrong?"
Adam opens his eyes, his expression unreadable but tinged with worry. "Pratham isn’t responding," he admits, his voice low. "I can’t feel his presence."
Yami shifts uncomfortably, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Does that an sothing’s happened to him?" she asks, her voice laced with unease.
Adam doesn’t answer imdiately, his gaze fixed on the floor as he processes the implications.
Beside him, Sona mirrors his concern, her tiny form dimming slightly as she considers the possibilities.
Breaking the silence, Sona speaks again, her tone resolute. "Lord Adam, perhaps you should go to Pratham’s dinsion and check on him directly."
Adam’s eyes widen slightly at the suggestion, and for a mont, he hesitates. His gaze drifts to Sona, then to Ani, whose eyes are brimming with a barely-contained excitent she’s struggling to suppress.
Turning to Sona, Adam nods thoughtfully. "You might be right," he says, his voice steady but tinged with determination.
Sona’s glow brightens as she adds, her tone playful yet earnest, "And why not take Miss Ani along? I’m sure she’d love to see another dinsion."
The suggestion catches Adam off guard. He glances at Ani, whose face is flushed with a mix of embarrassnt and eagerness. Though she tries to mask her enthusiasm, her eyes betray her true feelings.
Adam chuckles softly, his stern deanor softening. "You could’ve just asked directly," he says, addressing Ani. "I wouldn’t have said no."
Ani’s face turns a deeper shade of red as she stamrs, "W-would you really take with you?"
Before Adam can respond, Yami interjects. "If Ani’s going, then I’m coming too," she declares, her tone leaving no room for argunt.
Adam raises a hand to stop her. "First, I need to check if it’s even possible to bring soone else along," he explains, his voice calm but firm.
Yami narrows her eyes, her frustration evident. "Check what, exactly?"
Adam ets her gaze with quiet resolve. "I need to confirm if my ability allows to transport others safely. It’s not sothing I’ve tested before."
Sona hovers closer to Adam, her glow flickering with amusent. Ani, anwhile, tries to contain her bubbling excitent but fails as a wide smile spreads across her face. Adam notices and can’t help but smile in return.
"You’re really looking forward to this, aren’t you?" Adam teases gently.
Ani nods shyly but says nothing, her gaze fixed on the floor.
Adam places a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don’t worry. If it’s safe, I’ll take you."
The atmosphere in the room was electric with anticipation, the tension mirrored in every glance and whispered exchange.
Adam, sitting cross-legged on the soft pink mattress near the Japanese tea table, exuded calm authority.
His casual outfit, stark against the cheerful surroundings of Ani’s room, seed to absorb the light, enhancing his enigmatic aura.
Tayo hovered near him, her shimring body emitting a soft hum. Sona rested on Ani’s lap, her blue eyes darting between Adam and the others, as if trying to decode the emotions swirling around them.
Adam broke the silence, his voice steady. "System, can I bring another person with to my dinsion?"
A faint hum resonated in the air, and a purple-hued holographic window materialized before him. The text floated like ethereal ink:
______________________________
> The user may bring others into their dinsion, with a limit of ten individuals total.
______________________________
Adam read the ssage, a slight smile curving his lips. His eyes glimred with satisfaction as the purple window dissolved into nothingness.
Turning to Ani, who was watching him with wide, expectant eyes, he gave her a thumbs-up.
Her face lit up like the dawn, and she clasped her hands together, excitent radiating from her. "So I can go with you?" she asked, her voice trembling with a mix of eagerness and disbelief.
Adam nodded, his smile widening. "Absolutely. You’re coming with ."
From across the room, Yami, Anya’s elder sister, folded her arms. Her gaze shifted from Adam to Ani, a mix of protectiveness and curiosity etched on her face. "Does that an we can all go?" she inquired, her voice firm but hopeful.
Adam shook his head, raising a hand to stop her. "Not all of us," he clarified. "This power allows to bring a total of ten people, but that’s the maximum limit."
Yami furrowed her brows, the weight of his words sinking in. "Ten people..." she murmured, her voice trailing off as she tried to grasp the implications.
Adam’s calm deanor didn’t waver as he added, "I can take you, but only if necessary. I don’t know how much ti we’ll spend inside, and I need soone here to ensure everything remains stable. That’s why I’m asking you to stay behind with Tayo."
Yami’s protective instincts flared, her expression tightening. She glanced at Tayo, who hovered obediently by Adam’s side. "So, you’re saying you trust enough to stay behind and guard your creation?"
Adam inclined his head. "Exactly. I wouldn’t leave her with anyone else."
For a mont, Yami didn’t respond. Then, she sighed and gave a nod of reluctant acceptance. "Fine. I’ll stay, but only because I trust you to keep Ani safe." She reached out and gently cupped Tayo in her hands, the gentle sheen of the small body glinting against Yami’s fingers.

Ani, however, couldn’t contain her enthusiasm. "What do I need to bring?" she asked eagerly, her hands clenching into excited fists.
Adam chuckled softly, shaking his head. "You don’t need to bring anything. In fact, we can’t carry too much with us into the dinsion."
Ani’s face fell montarily. "Oh... I didn’t know that."
Her slight disappointnt was enough to make Adam laugh, a rare sound that seed to brighten the room. "Trust , Ani," he said gently. "You’ll be fine."
She tilted her head, studying him. "So, when are we leaving?"
Adam’s expression turned serious again. "Now. The sooner, the better."
Her eyes widened, and she sprang to her feet. "Give a mont!" she exclaid, dashing out of the room.

Left behind, Yami crossed her arms again, fixing Adam with a stern look. "I’m trusting you with my little sister. Make sure nothing happens to her."
Adam’s gaze didn’t falter as he responded, his tone solemn. "Nothing will happen to her. You have my promise."
His words carried a weight that seed to ease Yami’s tension. She nodded, her expression softening. "I’ll hold you to that."
Yami has full faith in Adam, she knows that Adam will go to any extent to save his sister so she is not much worried.
And this Chapter ends at this point where everyone is preparing to leave.
