Throughout the day, Xiang Kun spent most of his time on the two wood carvings.
Initially, he thought that after establishing a "super sensory contact" with the material, it would be easier to establish another special contact with the finished product, but he was met with failure.
Could this be because "super sensory contact" is a connection based on rational observation, while this ability to perceive others' emotions and dream images is a "sentimental" connection?
As always, Xiang Kun tried to make sense of the phenomena he observed, rationalizing them to his understanding.
By ten o'clock at night, he decided to temporarily set aside the woodcarving matter. He sensed the three objects with which he had established a unique connection. Two inscriptions remained still, but the eight-armed, eight-eyed wood carving had responded.
