"Don’t let the scammers pull you along. It feels good for a moment and then you regret it."
"The scammer’s name is Selthia!"
She shouted, then murmured something about not being able to believe how small her rival was.
Selthia was still laughing, a sharp, duplicated sound.
The mushroom seemed annoyed at being called small but despite everything ignored the provocation. Didn’t defend itself... Just continued with what mattered rather than wasting energy on more meaningless exchanges.
A pulse of light came from the center of Ren’s core. Different from the detonation, slower... Like a hand pressing something gently back into place. The jade-gold roots moved, re-interlaced and found each other.
The crack didn’t fully seal, but its edges came together enough to change the balance of everything.
Enough to matter.
The power flooding through Ren retreated. Not gone but contained. Like a river that had been about to overflow its banks suddenly redirected into proper channels.
Flood diverted before it could destroy everything.
"The rest is on you."
The voice faded mid-sentence, the way voices fade when someone falls asleep before finishing the thought. Not gone... Just dormant again.
There was a difference, and Ren knew it now with a certainty that hadn’t been there before.
’It wasn’t gone. It was just sleeping.’
The roots settled.
The empty library was quiet again.
Ren looked toward the edge of the space where Selthia was still not moving. The expression she wore now wasn’t any of the ones she’d shown him before. It was the expression of someone recalculating from the ground up.
He turned his attention back inward.
The crack was smaller. Not sealed, nor resolved, but different...
And the power that had been flooding him with that too-easy sense of freedom had gone from euphoria to friction, to something that pushed against him instead of pulling him with it.
The crystallization was retreating too. Not gone but less.
Going against the easy way? It hurts...
Outside this space, the artifact still held him. Mutants still converged. The girls still couldn’t approach.
But that would change... Was already changing, because he knew what he had to do now.
He’d known since the first time Liora had set him on fire from inside out and he’d felt something not exactly pleasant but that had pushed corruption backward.
Ren realized he could move now.
He closed his hands into fists.

Twenty-five meters.
She could see the top. The end of the stairwell was right there.
