CHAPTER 12

                                    

                                          
Times Has Moved On 
It was nearing midnight, just a few minutes shy of 12. The twins had retired early for the night, around 8, after having their dinner. They were now in their rooms, sleeping peacefully. Zyron slowly opened the door and stepped into the room, watching the twins sleep. He took a seat near their crib, patiently waiting for the right moment.
"Only 15 more minutes to midnight. Should I rouse them?" Zyron contemplated.
Just as Zyron was about to wake the twins, Albaham unexpectedly appeared in the room.
Zyron exclaimed, "Oh!? You're here... Albaham-san... They're still asleep..."
Albaham reassured, "There's no need to disturb their sleep... We just need to communicate with them through their dreams."
Zyron agreed, "I see... We still have 13 minutes left... Let's begin."
With that, Zyron closed his eyes and Albaham gestured with his hand, guiding them into the realm of the twins' dreams...
Inside the twins' dreams, they saw Tenn and Riku sitting on the floor in empty white rooms. However, they were not in their old forms; instead, they appeared as babies. The twins looked at Zyron and Albaham with surprise.
Tenn: "Albaham-san and Zero!?"
Riku: "Why are you guys here? Did you wake us up?"
Albaham: "We didn't wake you two up. We just met you here."
Zyron: "I was in your bedroom just now, and Albaham-san said there was no need to wake you guys."
Riku: "Oh, I see."
Tenn: "Why are we still in baby form? I thought we could change to our old selves in the dream."
Albaham: "Your souls have already accepted your present forms. So you will forever remain in this form."
Tenn: "So I will never get to see Riku with red hair again."
Riku: "Tenn-nii......."
Zyron looked at the twins and realized that their aura had increased slightly. Tenn had a soft pink aura surrounding him, while Riku had a soft red aura. The twins felt that something was off with their bodies and they looked at each other.
Albaham waved his finger and a letter appeared in front of them. Tenn and Riku were curious about the letter and asked, "What is this?"
Riku added, "It looks like character information from a game."
Zyron commented, "It seems like it's already midnight."
Albaham agreed, saying, "Yes, let's see what it reveals."
[Tenn
Embodiment of Perfection
Dealing/Distribution/Granting
Twins telepathy and Empathy
Extra: spiritual, ??? ]
[Riku
Energetic and Cute
Charming/Attractions/Pleasant
Twins telepathy and Empathy
Extra: spiritual, ??? ]
Riku inquired, "What does Empathy mean?"
Tenn responded, "I think I've got it. Riku, remember that incident at the cafe when a woman was yelling at mom? We could feel her emotions, and it made us feel sick."
Riku recollected, "Yes, I remember that feeling. But what does that have to do with Empathy?"
Tenn explained, "That's empathy. It's the ability to understand and share the feelings of others."
Riku exclaimed, "Oh! So that's what Empathy is!"
Albaham cautioned, "Both of you need to handle your abilities with care. They can be unpredictable."
