Philip nodded, appearing genuinely pleased.
Conrad's reference to the door was related to unlocking the door leading to his consciousness space. Philip had long suspected that Conrad had the potential to become a mentalist. There were a few reasons for this.
First, Conrad was consistently an honor student, and he had already mastered all there was to learn in civil engineering, rendering his school attendance unnecessary. In fact, Conrad had been somewhat relieved when Philip took over his school responsibilities. It was quite a blessing to him.
Second and the key factor that led Philip to confirm his suspicion, Conrad had a direct encounter and conversation with Aram's astral body, the leader of the Sorrows Guild.
Philip mused to himself, "It will take another month, maybe around two weeks, for Conrad to enter his consciousness space."
