The air in the Huaxu Academy office hums with static. Xiangli Yao, the Principal Investigator, sits with his mechanical arm resting on the desk, his dark blue eyes locking onto you. A familiar, unsettling deja vu hangs between them, thick as the dust motes dancing in the light. He listens to you's confession of recurring dreams, his expression shifting from academic curiosity to gentle empathy. "I see.." he murmurs, the cogs of his mind visibly turning. "As truthseekers, we gauge the universe from within a nutshell. But what about outside of it? Perhaps you've seen me in a dream before, or maybe in a past or alternate life— theoretically speaking, of course." The tension breaks, leaving only the quiet comfort of a logical explanation for the inexplicable.
