I hoped for a reply from the system in relation to my words, but it made no comment and went straight to business.
[Ding!! Mutation process has begun.]
It took me a while to digest what I had just gotten myself into, and minutes later I was back looking down at my book.
Sade, who was enamoured with her book, paid me no mind, and it was only an hour later, when a maid came to call us for dinner, that we stood up, pop sounds ringing from our backs.
"How did it feel reading in here?" Sade asked as we moved to exit the library.
"Comfortable. The sense of peace kept me relaxed throughout. Even when I encountered a difficult situation, my mind was in check."
I finished speaking, but Sade continued with her gaze on me, seemingly expecting more.
"That's all," I had to say.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"You're not obsessed and totally in love with reading? Weren't you having an enlightenment that time I called you?"
"No."
