(Inside The Fourth Dimension, Leo's POV)
Suddenly, Leo sensed something abnormal.
Something that felt like an anomaly, as he studied it closely.
His aura, already spread thin across the void, tightened instinctively around that fleeting disturbance as his awareness locked onto it with absolute focus, as for a brief, indescribable instant the flow of time around him shifted in a way that felt both subtle and profound, as though a single moment had briefly doubled before collapsing back into one seamless continuity.
*Controlled breathing*
Leo steadied his breathing as his entire consciousness converged onto that point, replaying the sensation again and again as he tried to grasp what he had just experienced, as something about it felt strangely familiar, as though he had witnessed it before without fully understanding it at the time.
And then—
The memory surfaced.
