'She took over the stage' Elias thought as he snapped out of his trance. The moment Sarah started talking he was Transferred to another dimension through her words. He could actually see the plant mutating and transforming in his mind.
He didn't know what to think when she stepped into the stage looking uncomfortable and almost scared. But as soon as she started talking she transformed, like the plant she was talking about, she completely bloomed into a new person under their eyes.
He could imagine how her student must enjoy her lectures a lot. Her reasoning and explanation flow was so easy to follow that he found himself in the middle of the lecture without realizing it. She must be one of the institute's favorite instructors.
He watched as she walked toward the Professor handing him the Microphone. her eyes were still shining bright and she looked truly radiant, Elias realized in that moment that he was attracted to her, to her passion and drive.
