The vision focused again, and the sense of lost time was the first thing that came to Alm and Bruno's minds. It wasn't the conventional laws of space and time; their spirits had been transferred between universes in a way completely beyond their understanding, even though they had, in the past, transcended the condition of ordinary mortals and gained total mastery over all laws.
Shortly after, they confirmed that, as before, the entire world seemed frozen, as if waiting for their return. Then, as if by magic, the laws began to circulate again, the air started moving, and life returned to the entire planet.
The sensation of that giant, rounded body also returned, but, at that moment, they even felt a bit more comfortable returning to it. After all, a metallic robotic body was something very different and hard to get used to; the form of that chubby whale, at least, was human... or close to it.
