"I… believe… you could try doing the same way you did to come here for the first time, Miss Vale…"
Maya's emoticon blinked twice, then faded from the center of the hologram, leaving only her voice.
I frowned. "The same way? You mean… wishing on a tiny bottle of phoenix tears?"
"Yes," Maya answered smoothly. "If that was how you arrived, repeating the same action may open the path again."
I lowered my gaze, thinking. That tiny bottle… the stupid wish that wasn't even a real wish… the moment everything changed.
"So it's possible," I murmured. "I can return."
"Yes," Maya said. "As long as the conditions align, there is a high chance."
My eyes sharpened, not out of suspicion, but because something warm and thrilling was blooming quietly inside my chest.
The bottle wasn't with me when I arrived here. I never saw it after I transmigrated.
So that meant…
"It's probably still in my room," I whispered, a small breathless laugh escaping. "Back in my world… it's probably still there."
