Another hour had passed, and the atmosphere inside the arena had changed completely.
At the beginning of the test, the forty-five participants had remained motionless, each trying to understand the strange seal that held them captive, their minds immersed in absolute silence. Now, however, some changes were clearly visible, small cracks in the wall of immobility that had dominated the arena.
A young man with brown hair, who until not long ago had remained completely motionless, finally managed to move his right hand, his fingers trembling with the effort.
It was only a small movement, almost insignificant to an outside observer, but to him it represented an enormous breakthrough, a victory over the silence that had imprisoned him.
"I did it..." His voice came out hoarse, a whisper that could barely reach his own ears.
