At the mention of the Akashic Library, excitement visibly rippled across Lumi's tiny floating screen, the little emoticon trembling happily at the thought of exploring such a mysterious place.
Orion let out a gentle sigh, eyes fluttering closed, allowing himself a moment of rest. He felt the familiar sensation of his cursed bed comforting him.

Minutes drifted by peacefully as Orion's breathing grew steadier, tension melting gradually from his shoulders and neck.
After what felt like just enough rest to recharge, he opened his eyes slowly, feeling clarity returning with renewed vigor.
He rose smoothly from the bed, stretching leisurely to loosen the stiff muscles accumulated from long meditation sessions.
A quiet pop echoed softly as he twisted his shoulders and rolled his neck. Exhaling comfortably, he spoke with thoughtful curiosity, eyes sparkling softly in anticipation.
"Tell me, Lumi," he said gently, "what do you think we will get at the Akashic Library?"
