The idea of using the fourth-dimensional 'mirror' as a portal back to their world became a new obsession for Rizal and Professor Indri. However, the more they studied the surface reflecting their destiny, the more they realized how little they knew.
"We can't just leap into this, Rizal," said Professor Indri, his tone serious. "We need to find a way to control this 'mirror', to focus its energy to the point we intend to go."
"But how, Professor?" Rizal asked, frustration creeping into his mind. "We don't even understand how this 'mirror' works."
Professor Indri flipped through his notebook, pages filled with scribbled equations and diagrams.
"We have to think beyond the boundaries of the physics we know, Rizal," he said. "In this dimension, our thoughts and consciousness have a power we've never imagined before."
He pointed to a scribble in his notebook. "Remember our experiments with brain waves and quantum entanglement? What if we could use the same principles to interact with this 'mirror'?"
A flash of understanding struck Rizal. "Professor, you mean... we could use our minds to 'tune' this 'mirror', like tuning into the right radio frequency?"
Professor Indri grinned widely. "Exactly, Rizal! We have to find the 'frequency' of the reality we want to reach, and then... focus our entire minds and consciousness towards it."
The challenge seemed almost impossible, but also incredibly enticing. If they succeeded, they would not only return to their world but also prove the unlimited potential of the human mind.
With renewed determination, Rizal and Professor Indri tried various methods to 'tune' the fourth-dimensional 'mirror'. They meditated, visualized their laboratory as vividly as possible, and attempted to channel the energy of their minds towards the surface of the mirror.
They faced failure after failure, but they didn't give up. They kept learning, adapting, and searching for ways to transcend the boundaries of the reality they knew.
Until finally, when they were on the brink of losing hope, something extraordinary happened...
