Twenty days could be a very long time, or it could pass by in a blink of an eye.
Everything was relative.
For Elliot and Jessica, the twenty days passed by as fast as fast could be.
They were completely immersed in their studies and research, so much so that they rarely stopped to sleep, or even rest! The twenty days were completely spent in an all out, full strength study session that would put the universe's most industrious ant to shame.
The aura surrounding Elliot changed again and again and again. It went from vivacious, to fiery hot, to cold, to electrifying and so on. And through it all, the sense of strangeness and separation that the rest felt with him continued to grow unceasingly.
It was as though Elliot's aura was turning into a completely different life form, bit by bit, right in front of them!
