It was the general knowledge that every Dominant had what was known as an Inner Sanctuary within them. This sanctuary was a place otherwise known as the home of a dominant's soul, said to come into existence the moment a human awakens as a dominant.
Evolving to the second grade did not just grant a dominant a second exclusive skill; it also revealed their Inner Sanctuary to them for the first time.
The reason Dominants in the first and second grades needed to sleep before the evolution was that it could only take place in this unique sanctuary.
Unlike those from the third grade and above who could venture to this sanctuary anytime they wished, those of the first and second could only enter once, when they slept after meeting the evolution requirements.
…As I closed my eyes to go to sleep, I couldn't help but wonder how my own sanctuary would look.
