Jade stood over the lab table, watching a pink line merge into the shard. At first, nothing happened. She waited around, ten minutes ticking by. Gradually, the shard started to glow with a pink light. But that was all—just a hint of color. Jade yawned, feeling the day's efforts weigh on her. "Maybe it needs more time," she thought, deciding to end her experiments for the night.
"Letting it sit overnight might help," Jade mused, heading off to bed, hopeful for a breakthrough by morning.
The next day, she returned to the lab early. What she found left her stunned. The shard had transformed; it was now a vibrant deep pink. When Jade tried to pick it up, it suddenly distorted and teleported a few inches away.
