"Weren't you going to ask me about..." Sarah started, only to purse her lips and shake her head. She then looked down at her knees to gather her thoughts. "What did I see..." she repeated Leon's inquiry just to help guide her own thoughts along a certain path.
The girl then raised her eyes at Leon with a dreamy look on her face.
"It was like... a dance. Dance of colors, of winds..." she attempted to explain her own experience. "It looked like a myriad of dancers constantly swirling around and trying to snatch partners of the other dancers, only to lose their own in the process," she said, slowly uttering her words while actively trying to find out the best way to describe it."
"I see... Leon muttered, more to himself than to the girl.
What Sarah said made some sense. In a certain way, it was the easiest way to describe the exact phenomena of what was going on within the blood core for someone who didn't know the exact terms.
"No, that's not all yet!" the girl quickly protested, refusing to let Leon take only a part of what she said as the whole thing. "That's what I saw at first, while the things still didn't make much sense," she explained... Only to lower her eyes to the floor again as she found herself unable to put what she saw into words. "Then..."
"Then?" Leon asked after roughly half a minute of silence.
"Ah, I'm sorry," Sarah apologized, raising her hands and flailing them before her chest as if to cast aside the daze she put herself in. "After what could very well be an instant or just a fraction of a second, all those dancers, all those points... they all merged into... currents?"
"Currents?" Leon repeated the word Sarah used while his eyes involuntarily opened up wide. 'How the heck does she know about electric...'
"Yeah, like those you can see in a river," the girl elaborated a little, unknowingly putting Leon in a precarious position of trying to hold back the blush from appearing on his cheeks.
'Right, a current isn't only used in relation to electricity,' he thought, noticing his own mistake.
The fact that Sarah could look into the ongoing process of refinement and not be affected by it elevated her position from your everyday village girl to a potential threat in Leon's eyes. And as such, he adopted an attitude that befitted the rank the girl got promoted to in his own mind.
'Old habits die hard I guess,' Leon thought, bashing himself for the silly mistake he made.
"Tell me more about those currents," he then requested, opting to just dig a little bit more into the girl's experience.
"I don't know how to accurately describe it," Sarah said as she averted her eyes. Her jaws tensed up a little as a hint of unease appeared on her face. "It was like... flows of different colors? But no, those weren't colors at all..."
"Sarah," Leon called out for the girl, forcing her not only to look at him but more importantly, focus on his eyes.
"Y-yeah..." the girl muttered, gulping down her saliva when she was faced with Leon's intense stare.
"Don't think too hard about it," Leon said, staring down right into Sarah's blue eyes. "What you saw is far beyond your understanding," he stated, emphasizing every single word he uttered. "It doesn't matter if it's fully accurate. Use the simplest and most convenient words that you can find."
"Then..." the girl gulped down again before bringing her eyes back to the ground.
"It was like an array of thousand different colors, each marking a different current. They mixed, separated, joined, and repelled each other, all at the same time."
Leon's eyes opened a little bit wider than before.
"The entire thing... It was endlessly replicating in itself. The whole picture consisted of thousands of those colors, and yet, I could see a similar picture of the same complexity within each of those colors," the girl continued to ramble, following Leon's request to speak freely. "I could tell there was some sort of rule to everything..." Sarah said, only to abruptly cut her words short before staling an upward glance at Leon's face followed by a quick escape of her eyes to the side.
"And then?" Leon pressed the topic, listening to the girl's story with a bated breath.
"...Y-you told me to stop," Sarah then revealed in a tiny voice while shrinking in herself.
"Ah..." Leon released a small moan of surprise. He then pushed himself to the back, resting his hands behind his back to support his lean body.
"Are you..." Sarah swallowed her saliva for the third time before uneasily raising her eyes at Leon. "Are you dissatisfied?"
"Huh?" Leon lowered his chin and looked at the girl with surprise written all over his face. "I told you to stop, didn't I?" he pointed out. "Why would I be dissatisfied with you just doing what I told you?"
"I mean..." Sarah hesitated. "Back then, you said it could kill me. But you look like you were greatly interested in what I've seen," the girl pointed out a certain way of looking at the entire story. "Now that we are talking about it, wouldn't you rather have me look at it for a bit longer?"
"God damn, girl..." Leon uttered in an exasperated voice. He then leaned his body forward and reached out only to gently pat the girl on her head. "Just how precious can you get?" he asked a rhetorical question.
'To see those forces as currents instead of particles...' Leon then thought about what the girl just revealed. 'It seems that you were right, professor,' he then thought, going back to one of the few precious memories he had about his past life.
"Okay, let's do this," Leon abruptly said, sitting up straight on the bed's edge before beckoning at the girl with his hand. "Come closer and kneel before me."
