After his shower, Alex looked at the time and sighed.
It was around three in the morning, and he wasn't tired in the slightest. His mind was still reeling from getting locked out of the game for a week.
But he didn't know what to do until Kary popped out of her gaming pod. And he hoped that wouldn't be for a few hours still.
He didn't want her to fall behind because of him. That would make him feel terrible.
"I could snoop around on the forums… Or maybe I can meditate?" he mumbled.
Activating his mana vision, Alex could see clearly as day the mana breach over his pod. And just over Kary's, there was another, this one a smidge smaller.
Focusing his mind on the mana particles floating around his room, he made them swirl around for a while, causing a breeze to form.
But he couldn't control all of it, and that made him realize his mana control on this side of the veil was weak.
